In the trailer, the titular detective takes on a gloomy Metro Manila’s cases involving monsters from Filipino mythology and folklore, including the “aswang” and “tiyanak.” She can also be seen interacting with a “nuno,” as well as the fan-favorite Kambal (twins) Crispin and Basilio.
Similar to the comics, the action-packed trailer shows that “Trese” will not be holding back when it comes to blood and gore.
“Trese” is an award-winning Filipino comic series by writer Budjette Tan and artist Kajo Baldisimo. Way before being adapted into an animated series, it had already become a cult hit in komiks circles.
“In Manila, where dark supernatural forces pervade the criminal underworld, it’s up to Alexandra Trese to keep the peace — but there’s a storm brewing,” the show’s synopsis read on Netflix.
“Trese,” directed by Jay Oliva, will be available for streaming starting June 11, the trailer also showed. /ra
