Netflix has expanded the voice cast of its upcoming animated feature Steps, adding Daniel Radcliffe, Peter Dinklage and Young Mazino to the reimagining of the classic Cinderella story.

The film shifts the spotlight away from the traditional heroine, instead following Cinderella’s often-maligned stepsisters as they become the central figures in an adventure that overturns the familiar fairy tale. The newly announced actors join an ensemble that already includes Amanda Seyfried as Cinderella, Ali Wong and Stephanie Hsu as the stepsisters Lilith and Margot, Nikki Glaser as Priscilla and Bette Midler as the Fairy Godmother.

Radcliffe will voice the Prince, while Dinklage has been cast as the villainous Roderick and Mazino will portray Gef, a charismatic troll. According to Netflix, the story begins when Lilith steals the Fairy Godmother’s magic wand, setting off a chain of events that derails the royal ball and inadvertently allows Priscilla to seize control of the kingdom. Forced to confront the consequences of their actions, the stepsisters must join forces with Cinderella on a quest involving trolls, dangerous enemies and a race to restore the kingdom.

The project is directed by Alyce Tzue and John Ripa, who have said they wanted to rethink the classic fairy tale by giving each character greater depth rather than relying on familiar archetypes. In announcing the latest casting additions, Ripa said, “We feel incredibly lucky to have all three of these massive talents on our film. Our goal was to break the fairy-tale mold by making every single character three-dimensional and worthy of a happily ever after, and we couldn’t have done it without Daniel, Peter, and Young.”

Steps is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on Nov. 20 and marks the first animated feature to be produced entirely in-house by Netflix Animation Studios.
