“The beloved Fairy Godmother, the wholesome Fairy Godmother — the one with all the good intentions — has been around for a long, long time,” says Midler. “This particular version of the Fairy Godmother has good intentions, but she’s a little bit of a bumbler, and she’s a little bit of a schemer.”
She adds, “I’m thrilled to be part of this film! And I’m thrilled to be with this cast!”
The film reimagines the relationship between Cinderella and her stepsisters, who have to team up to save their kingdom after Lilith’s actions at the Royal Ball put their kingdom under the tyrannical rule of the villainous Priscilla, who has taken over the throne.
The film’s director Alyce Tzue notes, “This story is, at its core, about two very different sisters — one who fits perfectly into this fairy tale kingdom and one who doesn’t — realizing they’re more alike than different.”
Steps is expected to debut on Netflix in 2026.
