Hollywood star Amanda Seyfried will lend her voice to the character of Cinderella for Netflix's original animated film "Steps".
Scheduled for release later in 2026, this animated reimagining of Cinderella shifts the focus to the perspective of her stepsisters.
Seyfried shared the picture of her character on her Instagram handle on Wednesday as she announced the news. "'STEPS' @netflixfilm," she wrote in the caption.
The film is directed by Alyce Tzue and John Ripa and revolves around stepsister Lilith (Ali Wong), who is wrongly blamed for a mishap at the royal ball. She must team up with Cinderella (Seyfried) and her sister Margot (Stephanie Hsu) to save the kingdom.
Tzue said Seyfried has the ability to make her characters specific and relatable.

"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," the filmmaker said in a statement.
"We wanted to create a modern heroine complete with flaws and coping mechanisms, and Amanda immediately understood the task. Her portrayal of Cinderella is hilarious and heartbreaking and, most importantly, refreshingly human," Tzue added.
The film is produced by Amy Poehler, Jane Hartwell, and Kim Lessing.
