American-born Filipino actress Liza Soberano has received many accolades for her work in film and television. She began her career as a teenager with a minor role in a 2011 episode of the ABS-CBN fantasy anthology series Wansapanataym, followed by a supporting role in the afternoon drama series Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo, for which she was nominated for a PMPC Star Award for Best Female New TV Personality. For much of 2013, she played third wheel roles in films—the coming-of-age romantic comedy Must Be... Love and the comedy-drama She's the One. Her breakthrough role came in the second season of romantic drama television series Got to Believe (2014), and played as the love interest of Daniel Padilla's character, alongside Kathryn Bernardo.
In 2014, Soberano landed her first lead role, opposite Enrique Gil, in the romantic drama television series Forevermore, for which she received the award for Most Promising Female Star at the 2015 Box Office Entertainment Awards. Her profile increased with two roles in commercially successful romantic comedies of 2015 which co-starred Gil. She played an unattractive exchange student in Just the Way You Are, and a woman conflicted by her feelings for two men in Everyday I Love You. Her role as a young aristocrat in the romantic drama series Dolce Amore (2016) garnered Soberano a nomination for the Star Award for Best Drama Actress. Critical success followed with her performance of a weblog writer on a job assignment with an ex-boyfriend in Cathy Garcia-Molina's drama film My Ex and Whys (2017). It became her highest-grossing release, and earned her the Box Office Entertainment Award for Box Office Queen. That same year, she took on the role of Miss Universe 2015 winner Pia Wurtzbach in a biographical episode of the drama anthology series Maalaala Mo Kaya.
For her portrayal of a tribal heroine in the epic fantasy television series Bagani (2018), Soberano was nominated for a Star Award for Best Drama Actress. She then starred in Antoinette Jadaone's drama film Alone/Together, which earned her two wins at the 2020 Box Office Entertainment Awards—Princess of Philippine Movies and Television and Most Popular Loveteam for Movies. She also starred as a struggling migrant worker in Dubrovnik in the romantic drama television series Make It with You (2020). Soberano debuted as a voice actress in the role of titular protagonist on the Netflix animated series Trese (2021), about a detective who deals with crimes of supernatural origin. In 2024, Soberano made her Hollywood debut in Zelda Williamss comedy horror film Lisa Frankenstein, and also debuted as a presenter at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards in Japan.
