The series will bring to life the graphic novel's protagonist, Alexandra Trese.

Trese, the graphic novel created by Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldissimo, is Netflix-bound.

This was revealed after the popular streaming website released a teaser on its Facebook page with pictures taken from the upcoming anime series.

“Aswangs of Manila, beware: Alexandra Trese is coming for you. Enjoy this very first look at TRESE, coming soon on Netflix,” the post said.

The brief announcement included a snippet apparently taken from the series.

It shows lead character Alexandra Trese looking over the city skyline from a glass window on a rainy evening.

The other image, meanwhile, has the Filipino paranormal crime fighter holding a bloody knife.

Released in 2005, Trese is a dark fantasy comic book that incorporates Filipino folklore and mythology in its horror-crime narrative.

Directing the anime series is Filipino-American storyboard artists and producer-director, Jay Oliva (Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Wonder Woman).

The series will premiere on Netflix in 2021 although no particular date has been mentioned thus far.
