‘Cleaning Lady,’ ‘Alert: Missing Persons Unit’ Canceled at Fox
Image
Both “The Cleaning Lady” and “Alert: Missing Persons Unit” have been canceled at Fox, Variety has learned.

“The Cleaning Lady” had aired four seasons at the broadcast network, while “Alert: Missing Persons Unit” had aired three. Both shows wrapped up with their respective season finales in the past two weeks.

Fox announced their fall schedule going into their upfront presentation to advertisers in May, with both “Cleaning Lady” and “Alert” in limbo at that time. The two shows now join fellow Fox drama “Rescue: Hi-Surf” on the chopping block.

Previously, Fox gave out massive four-season renewals for “The Simpsons,” “Bob’s Burgers” and “Family Guy,” while also bringing “American Dad” back to the network. The medical drama “Doc” has also been renewed for a second season, while Fox has picked up the one-hour comedy “Best Medicine,” dramatic thriller “Memory of a Killer,” and the multi-part scripted event “The Faithful.”

How ‘The Cleaning Lady’ Is Keeping Adan Canto’s Memory Alive in Season 3
Image
[This story contains spoilers from the season three premiere of The Cleaning Lady.]

For a woman who calls herself The Cleaning Lady, Thony de la Rosa (Élodie Yung) has yet to figure out how to clean up the biggest mess of her own making.

After her well-intentioned but misguided attempts to illegally procure a drug to save her ailing son resulted in the death of FBI agent Garrett Miller (Oliver Hudson) and the deportation of her sister-in-law Fiona (Martha Millan), Thony is dealt another devastating blow in the season three premiere of the Fox crime drama.

Hoping to smuggle Fiona back into the U.S. on a private plane used to ship drugs to the Philippines, Thony and her partner-in-crime Arman (Adan Canto) find themselves involved in a shootout with authorities and potential mobsters. Thony is able to evade capture by fleeing the scene in a car with Arman’s wife, Nadia (Eva de Dominici), but the two women are...

Exclusive: Senior television literary agent Melissa Orton-Cortez, most recently from CAA, has joined Adventure Media as a manager and partner alongside founding partners Chris von Goetz, James Robins Early and Aaliyah Williams.

This marks a reunion for Orton-Cortez and fellow former lit agents-turned-managers von Goetz and Robins Early who worked together for a decade at ICM Partners prior to the agency’s acquisition by CAA last year when von Goetz and Robins Early left and teamed with Williams to launch Adventure.

Meanwhile, Orton-Cortez transitioned to CAA where she had been for the past year. She was the highest profile departure in the recent round of layoffs at the agency, and a number of companies pursued her over the last couple of weeks. She opted to go with Adventure.

The Cleaning Lady Season 3: Release Date, Cast, Plot, and Everything Else You Need to Know
Elodie Yung in The Cleaning Lady (2022)
The Cleaning Lady has brought intrigue, action, and romance since it debuted on Fox in 2022.

The addicting crime drama was developed by Miranda Kwok and followed Thony De La Rhosa’s struggles in Las Vegas. Her young son had a rare blood disorder, and she couldn’t afford treatment unless she worked for the mob and they helped her.

During The Cleaning Lady Season 2, Thony grew even deeper into the crime world to save Luca, but that had severe consequences. While it was sometimes frustrating to see her make those mistakes and see others pay for them, we’re eager to see what’s next for everyone.

Luckily, Fox renewed The Cleaning Lady for a third season in February 2023.

“After two heart-pounding seasons, we’re thrilled with how audiences have latched on to this incredible story,” said Michael Thorn. Fox Entertainment President.

The Cleaning Lady Showrunners Dissect the Devastating Consequences in the Season 2 Finale
Melissa Carter
Now that The Cleaning Lady Season 2 finale has aired, TV Fanatic chatted with the showrunners, Melissa Carter and Miranda Kwok, to discuss the biggest twists and the potential for Season 3.

With so much to discuss, we spoke with Carter and Kwok about the devastating consequences of Thony's choices, which woman Arman really loves, the potential of Jd & Fiona, and a potential Season 3 renewal.

Check out the interview below:

Hello Miranda and Melissa. It's an honor to talk to you both. I'm a huge fan. So, the Cleaning Lady Season 2 finale ended with a bang. This season seemed a lot darker, especially for Thony as she tried to find medication for Luca.

Was that your intent to make her darker, even if she alienated some allies in the process?

Melissa: We wanted to show that you can't get involved with crime without it affecting even if the reasons are good.

‘The Cleaning Lady’ Bosses On ‘Resetting The Board’ With 2 Key Deaths And A New Mission For Thony In Season 2 Finale
Image
Spoiler Alert: This post contains spoilers for the Season 2 finale of Fox’s The Cleaning Lady.

Season 2 of The Cleaning Lady came to a close Monday night with a two-part finale that killed two key characters and left Thony (Elodie Yung) to pick up the pieces.

Despite warnings to stay away from Robert Kamdar (Naveen Andrews) as the FBI closed in on him, Thony once again took matters into her own hands. While Arman (Adan Canto) was eventually able to take him down, FBI agent Garrett Miller (Oliver Hudson) was also killed in the process — disintegrating Thony’s connection to law enforcement and ruining her chances of saving her sister Fiona (Martha Millan) from deportation after the two are caught stealing medical equipment and administering an experimental drug to Thony’s son to save his life.

Arman and Thony will have to work together to bring Fiona back to the United States,...

‘The Cleaning Lady’ Season 2 Finale: Showrunners Explain Those Shocking Deaths and What’s Next for Thony
Image
Spoiler alert: The following article discusses the Season 2 finale of “The Cleaning Lady.”

Having maneuvered through bureaucratic red tape, escaped near death at the hands of kingpins and wiggled out of immigration issues several times, Thony (Élodie Yung) finally finds herself in binds she can’t get out of at the end of “The Cleaning Lady” Season 2.

Her admirable, yet ultimately foolhardy, dedication to her son results in the death of FBI agent Garrett (Oliver Hudson) and deportation of sister-in-law Fiona (Martha Millan). The decision to leave Thony desperate and reaping the consequences of her rash and criminally amateur actions is one that co-showrunners and executive producers Melissa Carter and Miranda Kwok were keen to depict: As much as Thony believes she knows best, that she knows right from wrong, she can’t always get off scot-free.

“It puts her permanently in the corner, now, of crime, where Garrett was...

‘The Cleaning Lady’ Showrunners Tease What’s Next With Kamdar and Unpack That Love Triangle
Elodie Yung in The Cleaning Lady (2022)
Spoiler alert: The following article discusses the entirety of “The Cleaning Lady” Season 2, Episode 7, titled “Truth or Consequences.”

The midway point of “The Cleaning Lady” Season 2, the seventh episode aptly titled “Truth or Consequences,” sees the confluence of several narrative conclusions orbiting Thony’s (Élodie Yung) family and their accidental yet growing status in Las Vegas’ criminal underbelly; among them, Chris (Sean Lew) begins healing from his traumatic involvement in Marco’s death, the impetus of the Fox crime-thriller’s sophomore installment, and Arman (Adan Canto) shows how far he’s willing to go to protect Thony. It’s all part of the plan creator Miranda Kwok envisions on her quest to lead a series that embodies a type of “female ‘Breaking Bad,’” as Thony couches her wavering morality in a kill-or-be-killed environment.

“She was always resisting it,” the showrunner and executive producer told TheWrap. “She is somebody who’s...

The Cleaning Lady EPs Unpack Episode 7's Harrowing Ending: 'It Felt Like the Most Surprising Thing We Could Do'

Any lingering doubt that The Cleaning Lady‘s Robert Kamdar is an extremely formidable foe was sufficiently wiped out during Monday’s episode of the Fox drama.

In Episode 7 of the sophomore run, Robert attempted to sniff out which of his untrustworthy associates facilitated the FBI raid that went down at Cortes’ mansion two weeks ago. The gut-wrenching final act found Robert giving Arman a bleak ultimatum: Arman had to kill Maya, the onetime informant with whom Garrett has been entangled, or one of Robert’s men would shoot Thony instead.

Naveen Andrews Breaks Down His ‘Dark’ and ‘Mercurial’ Character in ‘The Cleaning Lady’ Season 2: ‘He Needs Therapy’
Elodie Yung in The Cleaning Lady (2022)
(Spoiler alert: This article discusses the entirety of “The Cleaning Lady” Season 2, Episode 2, “Lolo and Lola.”)

Naveen Andrews, the Emmy-nominated “Lost” actor, was drawn to his character Robert Kamdar, a new malignant presence in “The Cleaning Lady” Season 2, because of his cunning intelligence. Presented as the crime show’s new baddie and Nadia’s (Eva De Dominici) ex, the calculated criminal is intent on fracturing her already crumbling relationship with husband Arman (Adan Canto) — and pretty much everything else.

“He does seem to operate without any kind of moral fiber and certainly has issues: He needs therapy of some kind,” Andrews told TheWrap in an interview. “But if there’s one redeeming factor, it’s his relationship with Nadia — for some reason she’s exempt from his rather dark worldview. And in spite of that, he still seems to insinuate himself into other people’s lives with a deleterious effect and enjoys it,...

‘The Cleaning Lady’ Creator Miranda Kwok Upped To Showrunner Alongside Melissa Carter

Exclusive: Miranda Kwok, developer and executive producer of Fox’s drama series The Cleaning Lady, has been promoted to showrunner alongside executive producer/showrunner Melissa Carter, who will remain in her post under a new overall deal she signed with series producer Warner Bros TV several months ago. The shift from one to two showrunners will take place at the beginning of production on episode 207 of the drama’s upcoming second season.

Kwok’s promotion follows a natural progression for creators with limited prior experience who land a series on the air. When she created The Cleaning Lady based on the Argentinian format La Chica Que Limpia, Kwok had been on Wbtv-produced The 100 for four years, rising to supervising producer, having been a staff writer on Spartacus: Blood & Sand before that.

She was paired with Carter, an experienced showrunner on Wbtv’s talent roster, who was tapped to run the new series.

‘The Cleaning Lady’: How Representation and Authenticity Drove the Fox Drama’s Storytelling | Wrap Video
Elodie Yung in The Cleaning Lady (2022)
The lead role of the Fox drama series “The Cleaning Lady” — an immigrant medical doctor working as a cleaning lady in the United States — was originally written for a Filipina woman. But when Élodie Yung nabbed the role, the show’s producers and writers had to reconsider their approach to representation and authenticity. Not only did they change the character’s background to match Yung — who is of Cambodian and French descent – but they also asked Yung for her personal input.

“When I landed the part, which was originally for a Filipina woman, they said, ‘Oh, we’d like to embrace your origins,’ so we made Thony, and the name was based on one of my dad’s cousins, so we made her Cambodian which I’m very proud of,” Yung said during the latest installment of TheWrap’s original video series “How I Did It.”

When Élodie Yung signed on to The Cleaning Lady, she relished the opportunity to play a character of many layers—a Cambodian immigrant coming from the Philippines to America who meets “extreme situations” with remarkable resilience, and will do whatever it takes to protect her son.
