Think you know Cinderella’s “evil” stepsisters? Steps is here to prove you absolutely don’t. This animated fantasy‑comedy reimagines the classic fairytale with a fresh, chaotic twist that puts misunderstood mischief-maker Lilith front and center. Bursting with color, magic, and a whole lot of attitude.
Overview
Lilith (voiced by Ali Wong) has always been labeled the villain — but she’s about to rewrite her own story. When she’s blamed for crashing the Royal Ball with a stolen magic wand, things go sideways fast. One accidental spell later, her sister Margot (Stephanie Hsu) is suddenly a frog, the kingdom is under the control of a prince‑obsessed mean girl, and Lilith is forced to team up with none other than Cinderella herself.
With a dreamy troll at her side and a fractured fairytale to repair, Lilith sets out to prove that even the so‑called “bad guys” deserve a chance at happily‑ever‑after.
