Nikki Glaser is heading to the fairy tale world of Steps. The Emmy, Grammy, and Golden Globe-nominated comedian and actress has joined the voice cast of Netflix’s animated feature as Priscilla, a villainous schemer who will stop at nothing to control everyone around her.

Set to release later this year, Steps puts a fresh spin on the Cinderella story by focusing on the not-so-“evil” stepsisters. Directed by Alyce True and John Ripa (co-director on Raya and the Last Dragon), the film marks the first feature to be fully produced in-house within Netflix Animation Studios.

Glaser joins an all-star cast that includes Ali Wong, Amanda Seyfried, Stephanie Hsu, and Bette Midler as Priscilla, a villainous schemer who will stop at nothing to control everyone around her. After all, it wouldn’t be Cinderella without a villain.

Speaking about her new role, Glaser said in a statement, “It was a cathartic joy to voice the character of Priscilla – the jealous, try-hard, wannabe Princess, who’s fueled by deep-seated insecurities of unlovability and inadequacy. This role was quite a stretch for me because these are all characteristics that I do not at all relate to as a woman who has spent two decades clawing my way through show business.”

Synopsis: 

Sick of living in Cinderella’s shadow, Lilith (Wong) steals the Fairy Godmother (Midler)’s magic wand and hijacks the Royal Ball with her sister Margot (Hsu), breaking the Cinderella story as we know it and dooming the kingdom to the tyrannical rule of Priscilla (Glaser), a villainous schemer who swoops in and snatches the throne. Now, Lilith must team up with Cinderella (Seyfried) to fight biker trolls, outrun evil henchmen, and escape the Screaming Woods on an epic quest to save the kingdom, but most importantly, their relationship.

Steps is set for Netflix later this year.
