“Trese” premiered on Netflix Philippines last June 11.
The series was based on the award-winning comic book series by Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo which tells the story of occult investigator Alexandra Trese going head-to-head with a criminal underworld comprised of malevolent supernatural beings.
In the adaptation, Trese is voiced by actress Liza for its Filipino dub while Filipina-Canadian Shay Mitchell lent her voice for the English version.
