List of Steven Universe episodes
Steven Universe is an American animated television series created by Rebecca Sugar for Cartoon Network. The series revolves around Steven Universe (voiced by Zach Callison), who protects his hometown of Beach City alongside Garnet (voiced by Estelle), Amethyst (voiced by Michaela Dietz) and Pearl (voiced by Deedee Magno Hall), three magical alien guardians known as the Crystal Gems. During the original run of the series, episodes of Steven Universe were variously broadcast once a week; in blocks of multiple new episodes in the course of a week, marketed as "Stevenbombs"; or back-to-back as specials with an umbrella title.[1]
During the course of the series, 160 episodes of Steven Universe aired over five seasons, between November 4, 2013, and January 21, 2019.[2] A television film, Steven Universe: The Movie, was released on September 2, 2019, following the fifth and final season.[3] A concluding limited series, Steven Universe Future, premiered on December 7, 2019, and ended on March 27, 2020.[4][5]
Series overview
Episodes
The order and length of the first three seasons is inconsistent between official sources; this list uses the "intended order" of the episodes as specified by co–executive producer Ian Jones-Quartey, which re-orders six episodes from the first two seasons compared to the broadcast order.[6]
Pilot (2013)
Title | Directed by | Written and storyboarded by | Original release date | |
---|---|---|---|---|
"The Time Thing"[7] | Phil Rynda (creative) Sue Mondt (art) Genndy Tartakovsky (timing) | Rebecca Sugar | May 21, 2013[nb 1] | |
Upon returning from an intergalactic mission, the Crystal Gems—Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl—have brought a mysterious magical hourglass. Steven Universe, the youngest member of the Crystal Gems, gets his hands on the device and discovers that it has the ability to let him travel back in time in order to make snappy comebacks. However, his actions soon bring about a deadly adversary, with everyone's lives dependent on Steven being able to make a worthwhile comeback. |
Season 1 (2013–15)
26 half-hours (52 episodes) were produced for Season 1; this list includes a 53rd, "Say Uncle," which was produced and aired as part of Season 2, but which in terms of story chronology is placed by Jones-Quartey's list late in Season 1.[6]
Episode premieres initially occurred weekly on Monday nights, but moved to Wednesday nights beginning with the episode "Steven the Sword Fighter," then to Thursday nights beginning with the episode "Coach Steven". The episodes "Open Book", "Shirt Club", and "Story for Steven" were bumped to air during the second season in order to facilitate airing the final 'arc' of season one over five consecutive nights.[8]
Ian Jones-Quartey was the supervising director for each episode, but is uncredited in "Say Uncle".

Home media
Depending on the customer's region, Steven Universe is available through various video on demand services such as Hulu, Google Play, iTunes, Amazon Video, and Microsoft Movies & TV.
In North America, Warner Home Video has Steven Universe on DVD in several formats: single-disc compilations of select episodes, two Complete Season releases, and a Complete Collection box set. The Complete Collection, which was originally scheduled for November 3, 2020,[173][174][175] and subsequently delayed until December 8,[174][175] contains all 160 episodes of the original Steven Universe series, Steven Universe: The Movie, and all 20 episodes of Steven Universe Future; the bonus material from the Complete Season DVDs and The Movie was included alongside new content.[176]
Madman Entertainment followed a similar pattern in Australia. They released two compilation DVDs, five Complete Season DVD/Blu-ray releases, and a standalone DVD of The Movie. Madman's season releases use an alternative episode order and lack the bonus material included in the North American versions.[177]
In the United Kingdom, Manga Entertainment released the first season on DVD and Blu-ray on February 24, 2020.[178][179] This version used Madman's episode order but included the bonus material from the American DVD.[180] The second season was planned to be released on March 16, 2020, but was cancelled before release.[181]
