Steven Universe has been off the air since July but that is about to change. Cartoon Network has finally announced the return of the Crystal Gems to TV, and it's happening sooner than you probably thought.

This week, Cartoon Network revealed a full slate of winter programming that includes holiday episodes of shows like The Powerpuff Girls, Unikitty!, and We Bare Bears, in addition to a new five-episode arc for Steven Universe. The new editions of Steven Universe will air on five consecutive Mondays, beginning on December 17th.

The new arc will be titled Steven Universe: Diamond Days and it begins with the premiere episode "Legs From Here to Homeworld." The episode was shown earlier this year at San Diego Comic-Con and sees Steven return home after the groundbreaking wedding between Ruby and Sapphire. The event will conclude in January with an hour-long special, "Steven Universe: Battle of Heart and Mind."

Steven Universe: Diamond Days will contain five brand new original songs that will each be released the day after they air during their episode.

In addition to the details about the overall arc, Cartoon Network unveiled the descriptions and titles for each of the five new Steven Universe episodes.
