I have to say, the Princess Posse hasn’t been a riot, but I’m having a good amount of fun with them. Entrapta and Perfuma’s interactions have been all kinds of great, and I love Entrapta...

We won't be yet!
Infinity Train airs a new season in early January, and December is going to be a lot of Steven Universe, so I wouldn't have time to start a new show anyways. We're going to hold off on picking a new one for now.
