According to The Game of Nerds, "Steven Universe" creator and voice actor Rebecca Sugar also said during the panel that the next episodes will have a murder-mystery tone as the show tries to dig deeper into the mystery behind Pink Diamond's (Sugar) death. The new footage shown at Comic-Con revealed that it was not Rose Quartz (Susan Egan), the first suspect, who did it.
Apparently, it was merely a cover-up, which is said to play a vital role in the upcoming episodes of animated series, wherein Steven and the Diamonds will play detectives in order to solve the murder mystery.
"Steven Universe" season 5 will also reportedly feature a flashback episode, which is said to include White Diamond, Biggs, Crazylace, and Snowflake, as per an International Business Times report. As of now, the names of the voice actors behind these characters are not yet revealed.
"Steven Universe" season 5 was released in May with the first four of the planned 26 episodes. Cartoon Network has yet to announce when the 22 remaining episodes will be released.
