While "Steven Universe" season 4 just aired its final episode, fans can already expect that the popular Cartoon Network show is returning for its season 5 eventually. However, if rumors are to be believed, the upcoming season 5 of the animated show may already be its last.

According to reports, season 4 finale episode of "Steven Universe" has been a tearjerker as it featured Steven heading to the Homeworld to correct his past mistakes and saving his friends. However, avid fans of the show may cry a river once it is confirmed that the upcoming season 5 of "Steven Universe" will be its last, indeed.

As of this writing, it remains unclear as to when "Steven Universe" season 5 will arrive. However, there are already rumors claiming that the Cartoon Network animated series' upcoming season may be its swan song. Reportedly, the released teaser for the upcoming season 5 of "Steven Universe" is a handwriting on the wall that it will be the last for the animated show.

Nonetheless, it has been revealed that the teaser of what many thought as a prelude to season 5 released late last month turned out to be snippets for the last four episodes of "Steven Universe" season 4, which began airing last Monday and ends tonight with its "I am my Mom" episode.

While it remains unclear whether "Steven Universe" season 5 will be the last for the Cartoon Network show, fans can, at least, rest assured that it will be another exciting season for the beloved animated series. After all, it was no less than Rebecca Sugar, "Steven Universe" creator, who said in an earlier interview that she has big plans for the upcoming season.

Meanwhile, according to rumors, it is possible for "Steven universe" season 5 to bring back Lar as he will be an important character in the upcoming season. It is also alleged that the forthcoming season of the Cartoon Network show will feature more fusions among the Crystal Gems.

However, these can only be confirmed once "Steven Universe" season 5 begins airing, who knows exactly when.
