New Netflix Movie Is Cinderella With a Major Twist

Netflix has announced that it will be making a new animated movie, Steps, that offers up a twist on the popular story of Cinderella and her “evil” stepsisters.

What is Netflix’s new movie about?

Steps offers up a different look at Cinderella and her stepsisters. The movie follows the “misunderstood Lilith,” who “is blamed for hijacking the Royal Ball with a stolen magic wand,” and then “accidentally turns her sister Margot into a frog and leaves the kingdom in the hands of a prince-obsessed mean girl.

“Now Lilith must team up with Cinderella (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,” reads the film’s synopsis.

Check out a new still from the film, showcasing Lillith, below:

Steps is directed by Alyce Tzue and John Ripa (co-director of Raya and the Last Dragon), and stars Ali Wong and Stephanie Hsu. No other cast members have been revealed as of yet. Jane Hartwell, Amy Poehler, and Kim Lessing serve as producers on the project. The film is part of Netflix’s original slate of animated features, which include some big projects like KPop Demon Hunters, Pinocchio, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, and more.

Ali Wong is best known for her career as a comedian, where she has multiple Netflix specials, the last of which (2024’s Single Lady) won a Golden Globe Award. She also starred in the 2023 Netflix series Beef, for which she won another Golden Globe and two Primetime Emmy Awards. Stephanie Hsu is best known for her role in 2022’s Everything Everywhere All at Once, as well as her performances in 2021’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, 2024’s Didi, The Wild Robot, and The Fall Guy.
