Amanda Seyfried (The Housemaid, Mamma Mia!) is stepping into the role of Cinderella for Netflix‘s upcoming animated feature, Steps. Also lending their voices are Ali Wong (Beef, Always Be My Maybe) as Lilith and Stephanie Hsu (Joy Ride, Everything Everywhere All at Once) as Margot.
Directed by Alyce Tzue (Little Emma, Soar) and John Ripa (Raya and the Last Dragon, Frozen), Steps will arrive in Netflix in 2026.
The official synopsis reads, “Think you know Cinderella’s “evil” stepsisters? Think again! When misunderstood Lilith (Ali Wong) is blamed for hijacking the Royal Ball with a stolen magic wand, she accidentally turns her sister Margot (Stephanie Hsu) into a frog and leaves the kingdom in the hands of a prince-obsessed mean girl. Now Lilith must team up with Cinderella (Amanda Seyfried)…and a surprisingly dreamy troll…to save the kingdom, repair the fractured fairytale, and prove that even so-called villains deserve a shot at happily-ever-after.
“Amanda has been an absolute joy to work with. She brings a level of experience and passion that inspires us to dig even deeper into the character. Her process of honing in on emotions, the control she has over her voice — it all comes together to give Cinderella a depth and humor we could’ve never imagined,” Ripa tells Tudum.
“Amanda has this incredible ability to make her characters specific and relatable, and we absolutely needed that when taking on a character that’s as legendary as Cinderella,” Tzue adds.
