Grazilda is a Filipino fantasy series based on Drizella, the stepsister of Cinderella. It premiered on GMA Network on September 13, 2010 and on GMA Pinoy TV on September 15, 2010. The series features an alternative history of La petite Pantoufle de Verre (The Little Glass Slipper) in the point of view of Cinderella's stepsister, Grazilda (Glaiza de Castro) and Kapuso Leading Man (Geoff Eigenmann) together with (Yasmien Kurdi) first antagonist role from herself. The final episode of the show aired on January 7, 2011. Although it has ended, it will make its rerun on one of Fox's sister channels, Fox Filipino starting May 18.
The story opens from a fairy tale land called Fantasia where the audience is introduced to the backstory of the family of Grazilda. Grazilda's mother, Matilda (Rio Locsin), falls in love with a man named Fernando (Joel Torre) who comes from the mortal world. The two elope and have two daughters, Fernanda and Anatalia. Fernando promises not to leave Matilda for the mortal world and past love, Veronne (Cherie Gil). This all changes however when the Fairy Godmother (Jolina Magdangal) banishes Fernando to the mortal world as this disrupted the peace in Fantasia.
Matilda is heartbroken when her parents tell her that Fernando had left her. Angrily, she renames Fernanda as Grazilda (Glaiza de Castro) and a few years later, Matilda marries the father of Cinderella to forget about Fernando. Grazilda hoped to have a father figure in her stepfather but Cinderella was the only one he took care of. This makes Grazilda long for her own father and treasure a tape recorder with her father's lullaby.
Matilda, upon learning of the tape recorder existence, reprimands Grazilda as Cinderella is not supposed to see anything related to Fernando and the mortal world. This, along with Grazilda's jealousy over Cinderella, leads Grazilda to maltreat Cinderella.
