TRESEShay Mitchell and Liza Soberano will voice Alexandra Trese in the Netflix original anime series Trese, based on the Philippine graphic novel.
Netflix is adapting Budjette Tan and KaJO Baldisimo's Philippine graphic novel, Trese, into an original anime series headlined by Filipino actor Liza Soberano (My Ex and Whys, Alone/Together) and Filipino-Canadian actress Shay Mitchell (YOU, Pretty Little Liars).
Soberano will voice Alexandra Trese in the Filipino language version of the series, with Mitchell voicing the lead character in the English version.
"As a fan of the komiks, I knew that the title role of Alexandra Trese was going to be challenging to cast for the animated series," executive producer Jay Oliva (Wonder Woman, The Legend of Korra) said in a statement. "It is important for the voice talent to embrace the layered character to fully become Alexandra Trese. My concerns went away as soon as Shay Mitchell stepped into the recording booth. Shay's Alexandra exceeded my expectations and she delivers a performance of strength, determination and family duty that is at the very core of the character. If that wasn't enough, imagine my delight when we confirmed Liza Soberano joining the Filipino voice cast! I am a big fan of hers and she fits the character so well. Having Liza play Alexandra Trese for the series makes this project even more special to me and my team!"
A description of Trese reads: "Set in a Manila where the mythical creatures of Philippine folklore live in hiding amongst humans, Alexandra Trese finds herself going head to head with a criminal underworld comprised of malevolent supernatural beings."
Trese premieres later this year on Netflix.
