Netflix dropped the voice casting news on their local Twitter account on March 8. Folks have been waiting since 2018 to see Budjette Tan and KaJO Baldisimo's komiks about a Manila where folklore and reality mash-up as the mysterious Alexandra Trese takes the supernatural criminal underworld finally come alive on screen—and news that these two actors are in charge of voicing her has definitely added to the excitement.
Who Will Voice Alexandra in the Trese Netflix Adaptation?
"I knew that the title role of Alexandra Trese was going to be challenging to cast for the animated series. It is important for the voice talent to embrace the layered character," said Jay Oliva (Wonder Woman and The Legend of Korra), executive producer, in a statement. Mitchell adds that "Philippine folklore is rich and fascinating, and I am thrilled to be a part of the team bringing this story to life." The Canadian actor's mother was originally from Pampanga.
"I'm a huge fan of Budjette and KaJO’s award-winning Trese comics," said Soberano. So while we weren't able to see Soberano play the kickass heroine Darna, we can't wait to see how she takes on the anti-hero role of Alexandra Trese! "Excited na'ko," added the actor.
The Trese series adaptation is part of the 2021 anime slate of Netflix. No release date has been announced.
