Following its debut earlier this year, The Cleaning Lady has become one of the Top 5 new broadcast dramas of the 2021-22 season. With such success, FOX Entertainment President Michael Thorn has announced that the series will be renewed for a second season.
“This heart-pounding, emotionally driven story has captivated audiences across all platforms with its empowering, suspenseful narrative about an undocumented worker forced to navigate the criminal underworld to save her ailing son’s life,” Thorn said.
Additionally, its loyal fanbase has made the series Hulu’s most-streamed FOX debut in the network’s history, with 11.9 million multi-platform viewers with just its premiere episode.
“The Cleaning Lady bravely and unapologetically takes on many of today’s most important social issues — something we’re proud to say is one of FOX’s long-time calling cards — and it’s all brought into sharp perspective by the powerful performance of our lead, Élodie Yung and the entire cast,” Thorn said.
Based on the original Argentine series, this adaptation is produced by Warner Bros. Television and FOX Entertainment. Miranda Kwok developed the series, wrote the pilot, and serves as a writer and executive producer, along with Melissa Carter as showrunner and executive producer. Shay Mitchell, David Dean Portelli, Rose Marie Vega, and Paola Suarez are also executive producers.
“Thanks to the incredible talent of Miranda and Melissa and our outstanding partners at Warner Bros., audiences have embraced this story and can now look forward to finding out what comes next for this devoted mother and her son when our show returns for its second season.”
