The series focuses on 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 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. During the series, 160 episodes of Steven Universe aired over five seasons, between November 4, 2013, and January 21, 2019. A television film, Steven Universe: The Movie, was released on September 2, 2019, following the fifth and final season. A concluding limited series, Steven Universe Future, premiered on December 7, 2019, and ended on March 27, 2020. ==Series overview== ==Episodes== The order and length of the first three seasons is different between official sources. This list uses the "intended order" of the episodes according to co–executive producer Ian Jones-Quartey, which re-orders six episodes from the first two seasons compared to the broadcast order. ===Pilot (2013)=== === Season 1 (2013-15) === 26 half-hours (52 episodes) were produced for Season 1.

Episode premieres first happened weekly on Monday nights. They were moved to Wednesday nights beginning with the episode "Steven the Sword Fighter," then to Thursday nights beginning with the episode "Coach Steven".
