Academy Award-nominated actress Amanda Seyfried attended the world premiere of Netflix's animated musical film Steps on Sunday evening, November 8, 2026, held at The Plaza Hotel in New York City. The 40-year-old star graced the purple carpet alongside fellow voice cast members Bette Midler, Ali Wong, Stephanie Hsu, Daniel Radcliffe, and Young Mazino to launch the upcoming holiday release.
Directed by Alyce Tzue and John Ripa, Steps is a comedy-driven animated spin on the classic Cinderella story, produced by Netflix Animation Studios and Amy Poehler’s Paper Kite Productions. The plot flips traditional fairytale dynamics by centering on Cinderella’s misunderstood stepsisters, Lilith (voiced by Wong) and Margot (voiced by Hsu). When a magical mishap transforms Margot into a frog, the sisters must embark on a quest across the kingdom. Seyfried provides the voice for Cinderella, bringing a grounded, modern sensibility to the iconic character.
Seyfried’s voice performance in Steps adds another standout project to her extensive, critically recognized body of work. The actress gained worldwide acclaim for her portrayal of Elizabeth Holmes in the Hulu limited series The Dropout (2022), which earned her a Primetime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award. She also received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Marion Davies in David Fincher's 2020 Netflix biographical drama Mank.
Throughout her career, Seyfried has displayed incredible range across musical theater adaptations, comedies, and dramatic thrillers. Famous for her leading roles in blockbuster hits like Mamma Mia! (2008), Les Misérables (2012), and Mean Girls (2004), she has consistently balanced major studio musical projects with complex independent movie roles such as First Reformed (2017) and The Art of Racing in the Rain (2019).
Steps is scheduled to stream globally on Netflix starting Friday, November 20, 2026. Featuring original musical numbers composed by Justin Tranter alongside a score by Kris Bowers, the feature is positioned as one of Netflix's centerpiece family entertainment releases for the late autumn holiday season.
