Olivia Colman and Helena Bonham Carter play the Fairy Godmother and Wicked Stepmother in Cinderella

Olivia Colman and Helena Bonham Carter take on the pantomime roles after captivating Netflix viewers as Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret on The Crown's fourth season.

While Olivia, 46, will play the fairy godmother in a charity production of Cinderella, Helena, 54, will be the wicked stepmother.

Cinderella: A Comic Relief Pantomime For Christmas is an online version of the popular story that raises money for charity while most of the pantomimes have been canceled and most theaters across the UK remain dark thanks to the pandemic.

In the snapshots of the performance, Olivia wears a halo and wings, while Helena, whose character name is Lady Devilia, wears a fur scarf, large sunglasses and a fascinator.

The Queen's Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy plays Cinderella in the Panto, which will be shown on BBC2 on Christmas Eve at 8:15 p.m.

The real sister and brother Daisy May and Charlie Cooper are the Evil Step Sisters, while Guz Khan plays Buttons, Tom Hollander plays Baron Hardup, Rege-Jean Page plays Prince Charming and Jimmy Akingbola is Dandini.

Little British star David Walliams is Major Domo and comedian Aisling Bea appears as Mrs. Snitch.

The BBC promises "surprises and cameos galore" – and even a pantomime horse.

The cast gathered online, and artist Quentin Blake created illustrations to bring the panto to life for viewers, who have the opportunity to donate to Comic Relief projects as they watch.

BBC2 controller Patrick Holland said: "This is a unique surprise at the end of the year when we all need to cheer up."
