Oppressed by an ineffective system and hidden away in the shadows, she wipes away the evidence of unthinkable crimes. She’s Thony De La Rosa — a doctor, a mother, and The Cleaning Lady.
When we last saw Thony, she was catering to the whims of mafia men to make enough money for her son’s medical treatments.
What happens to Thony next? Fox Crimes is back with the third season of a show we have grown to love.
Here’s everything we know about The Cleaning Lady season 3 release date and what happens next!
When does season 3 of The Cleaning Lady start?
The strikes delayed production. You can watch The Cleaning Lady season 3 starting Tuesday, March 5, 2024, at 8 pm ET/PT on Fox.
What to expect from season 3 of The Cleaning Lady?
Fans can expect tons of suspense and moral complexity this season. Let’s look at how the story may unfold in The Cleaning Lady season 3.
Thony’s quest to save Fiona
Season 2 ended with Fiona being deported to Manila. Thony and Arman were preparing to go overseas and stop this deportation. They’ll continue this dangerous mission in season 3. Here’s the thing, Adan Canto (the actor who plays Arman Morales) passed away in January 2024, so we don’t know how this will play out now. Production started in December, and Fox released a 20-second teaser trailer on January 4th, 2024, four days before Adan Canto passed away, so shooting must have already been wrapped up way before that, meaning he is very much a part of the current season.
Heightened stakes and desperate measures
With Thony’s FBI ally Garrett now dead and the authorities closing in, she may find herself backed even further into a corner. This could lead to Thony taking more extreme actions out of sheer desperation to protect her family and earn money for her son’s treatment. Season 3 looks set to ramp up the danger, though we will dearly miss Garrett.
Evolution of central love triangle
The complex love triangle between Thony, Arman, and Nadia has been a pivotal emotional anchor. Arman confessed to having feelings for Thony, despite still being involved with Nadia. This romantic dynamic will continue to evolve in unpredictable ways. How’s Nadia going to respond to this? At the end of season 2, Nadia killed mob boss Robert and inherited all his money, so we’d say she’s someone you don’t want to mess with.
More backstory on Arman
The introduction of Arman’s estranged parents, Eduardo and Teresa Morales breathes fresh life into his backstory. We’ll likely find out more about his past and upbringing. This could shed more light on his motivations and connections.
So in summary — high stakes, desperate measures, volatile relationships, and murky morality. That’s what you have to look forward to.
