Cinderella 2: The Glass Kingdom (2026)
Lily James, Richard Madden, Cate Blanchett
Happily-ever-after was never the end — it was the spark of a much greater story.
Peace has reigned since Ella (Lily James) and Kit (Richard Madden) took their place on the throne, guiding the kingdom with compassion, humility, and grace. Their reign has inspired hope, ushered in prosperity, and healed wounds left behind by years of cruelty and division.
But deep beneath the kingdom — beneath its courtyards, its mountains, and its ancient catacombs — something begins to stir.
A strange wave of unrest sweeps through the land:
glass objects splinter without cause,
mirrors whisper unfamiliar voices,
and long-forgotten symbols glow beneath moonlight.
When Ella’s iconic glass slippers begin to fracture on their own, leaving trails of shimmering cracks, she discovers a chilling truth:
the magic that transformed her life is unraveling — and its collapse threatens to awaken a force tied to her family’s forgotten lineage.
This unraveling magic spreads like a silent storm, causing entire villages to freeze under crystallized enchantments and summoning creatures forged from living glass. Citizens whisper of an ancient prophecy:
When the glass breaks, the kingdom breaks with it.
While Ella and Kit search for answers, a charismatic but ruthless political rival emerges from the shadows — a noble with secret knowledge of Ella’s origins, determined to strip her of legitimacy and seize the crown by proving she is nothing more than a girl uplifted by “dangerous magic.”
To save her people, Ella must embark on a perilous journey that leads her far beyond the castle walls. Joined by Kit, she travels through enchanted forests, mountain shrines, and the eerie Labyrinth of Reflections, where glass guardians shaped from ancient spells test her courage and identity.
Yet the deepest shock comes when Lady Tremaine (Cate Blanchett) resurfaces — no longer the cruel stepmother of Ella’s past, but a woman burdened with secrets that may hold the key to the kingdom’s survival. Her knowledge of Ella’s mother, of the origins of the glass magic, and of the power waking beneath the land forces Ella to confront a painful truth:
Sometimes the past must be faced, not forgiven.
As the kingdom trembles and the very skies shimmer with fracturing magic, Ella and Kit stand together against forces that would break their world apart — both literal and political. But only Ella can wield the power she never asked for, embrace the legacy she never knew she had, and prove that her greatest strength was never the magic that blessed her…
but the courage and kindness that define her.
Majestic, romantic, and shimmering with fantasy,
Cinderella 2: The Glass Kingdom (2026) reveals that even the most beautiful fairy tales hold shadows —
and only a true heart can lead the kingdom through the breaking of the glass.
