Fox’s The Cleaning Lady wraps up season four with back-to-back episodes on June 3, 2025. Episode 11, “Killer Queen,” will air at 8pm ET/PT, followed by episode 12, “As Time Goes By,” at 9pm ET/PT.
The Season 4 Finale Plot: A vicious prison showdown and a high-stakes escape puts everything at risk. With her life on the line and Ramona’s wrath closing in, Thony must outmaneuver those who want her silenced and find a way to protect her freedom and family as she finds herself surrounded by chaos. When Jorge catches wind of Ramona’s plans, he’s willing to do anything to stop her. With the future of Sin Cara hanging in the balance, unexpected foes cause dire consequences. As Fiona finds new security, a fatal decision changes her relationship with Thony forever.
Elodie Yung leads the cast as Thony, Santiago Cabrera plays Jorge, Kate del Castillo is Ramona Sanchez, Martha Millan plays Fiona, Faith Bryant is Jaz, and Sean Lew plays Chris. Recurring season four guest stars include Danny Pardo as El Don, Daniel Bonjour as Dr. Sean Dupont, Alain Uy as Feng, and Brian Norris as Cowboy Hat.
The Cleaning Lady returns for an action-packed season four, with the series’ beloved characters in ever-changing and increasingly dangerous situations. After three seasons of being a pawn caught between the FBI and the world of organized crime, THONY (Yung) makes the bold decision to take charge of her own destiny — by exchanging her cleaning lady uniform for the scrubs of a surgical intern at a small community hospital.
Thony’s return to the medical career she sacrificed for her son, LUCA (Sanchez), opens a new path to citizenship for them both. But to make this happen, she must continue her service to the Sin Cara cartel — not as a cleaning lady, but as the new mob doctor — bringing her ever closer to JORGE (Cabrera), the cartel’s brooding new leader. Under the watchful eye of the hospital’s brusque yet handsome chief resident, DR. SEAN DUPONT (Bonjour), Thony straddles the line between two worlds until they inevitably come crashing into each other.
Newly enthroned as the head of Sin Cara, Jorge has ambitious plans to take the cartel in a surprising, yet lucrative, direction. He’s invested Sin Cara’s assets into a rare earth mine worth billions. It’s easy, legitimate money that will result in generational wealth for them all. But the old dogs of the cartel are unwilling to learn new tricks from their upstart leader, which results in a fracture within the organization. Flanked by his lieutenants, the veteran EL DON (Pardo) and quirky newcomer FENG (Uy), Jorge must fend off a mutiny within Sin Cara, which threatens the lives of everyone he loves.
Even from within the walls of a maximum-security prison, former head of Sin Cara, RAMONA (Del Castillo) remains a threat. She continues to exert influence through her unpredictable proxy on the outside, the loner only known as COWBOY HAT (Norris). But she’s vulnerable on the inside. When a tough prison gang puts Ramona in their crosshairs, she must dig deep into her devious bag of tricks to find a way to survive.
Meanwhile, FIONA (Millan) struggles to keep her cleaning business afloat, leading her into the world of identity theft. CHRIS (Lew) learns the painful truth about first love and channels his raw emotions into an unexplored passion — dance. And JAZ (Bryant) deals with the difficulties of being the perfect child in a decidedly imperfect family.
The Cleaning Lady continues its exploration of the experience of undocumented immigrants and the hurdles they face in this country. The series tells their stories of resourcefulness in the face of institutional adversity and the sacrifices they must make to achieve their American dream.
Keanu Reeves stars as an angel who strives to do his best but isn’t particularly skilled at his job in the teaser trailer for Lionsgate’s Good Fortune. Aziz Ansari pulls triple duty—acting, directing, and writing—in his feature filmmaking debut.
The cast also includes Seth Rogen, Keke Palmer, and Sandra Oh. Ansari, Anthony Katagas, and Alan Yang produce, with Aniz Adam Ansari, Jonathan McCoy, Christopher Woodrow, and Connor DiGregorio executive producing.
Lionsgate released this very basic description of the comedy: “In Good Fortune, a well-meaning but rather inept angel named Gabriel (Reeves) meddles in the lives of a struggling gig worker (Ansari) and a wealthy venture capitalist (Rogen).”
Good Fortune will open in theaters on October 17, 2025.
Prime Video’s trailer for Countdown reveals there’s an extinction-level event planned and not much time to stop it. The trailer also confirms that although the clock’s ticking, Jensen Ackles’ character will have time to drop witty lines and add some humor to the situation.
The series, created by Derek Haas (FBI), stars Ackles (The Boys, Supernatural), Eric Dane (Euphoria), and Jessica Camacho (The Flash). Violett Beane (Death and Other Details), Elliot Knight (The Boys), and Uli Latukefu (Young Rock) also star in season one. Haas is the showrunner and executive produces.
“When an officer with the Department of Homeland Security is murdered in broad daylight, LAPD detective Mark Meachum, portrayed by Ackles, is recruited to a secret task force, alongside undercover agents from all branches of law enforcement, to investigate,” reads Prime Video’s synopsis. “But the hunt for the killer soon uncovers a plot far more sinister than anyone could have imagined, kicking off a race against time to save a city of millions.”
Countdown will premiere on Prime Video on June 25, 2025 with the release of the first three episodes. New episodes will stream on Wednesdays, with the finale set for September 3rd.

Netflix offered the following details on the just-announced cast:

Meanwhile, geologist Eric Drummond returns from Ohio with intel on how to drill around the meteorite on the ranch.

Ryan Reynolds (Welcome to Wrexham) narrates and Green Day provides the theme song for National Geographic’s nature series Underdogs, which just debuted an official trailer. The series celebrates overlooked and underappreciated wild creatures and will premiere on National Geographic on June 15, 2025 at 9pm ET/PT.
“Getting to work with National Geographic on Underdogs was a dream come true—mostly because I can finally watch a project of ours with my children. Technically, they saw Deadpool & Wolverine but I don’t think they absorbed much while covering their eyes and ears and screaming for two hours,” said Ryan Reynolds. “We’re so proud to elevate the unsung heroes of the natural world to the top of the entertainment food chain and can’t wait for everyone to see.”
Reynolds serves as an executive producer along with Mark Linfield, Vanessa Berlowitz, Dan Rees, George Dewey, Ashley Fox, Patrick Gooing, Bengt Anderson, and Tracy Rudolph Jackson. Underdogs is produced by Wildstar, a Fremantle company, in partnership with Maximum Effort for National Geographic.
“For 137 years, National Geographic has been bringing you breathtaking wildlife footage of iconic animals—penguins, elephants, whales, and more. As if those windbags need any more free PR. Hold on to your binoculars, folks, as Nat Geo gets up close and personal with the outcasts of the animal kingdom in Underdogs, narrated by Ryan Reynolds. From their hidden talents to their unconventional hygiene choices to their unsavory courtship rituals, Underdogs celebrates the unique behaviors of the animals who don’t usually get to be the stars of the show,” reads National Geographic’s synopsis.
The description continues: “Each episode of the five-part series showcases a different aspect of these underdogs’ bizarre mating strategies, surprising superpowers, deception, dubious parenting skills and gross-out behaviors. Underdogs features a range of never-before-filmed scenes, including the first time a film crew has ever entered a special cave in New Zealand – a huge cavern that glows brighter than a bachelor pad under a black light thanks to the glowing butts of millions of mucus-coated grubs. All over the world, overlooked superstars like this are out there 24/7, giving it maximum effort and keeping the natural world in working order for all those showboating polar bears, sharks, and gorillas.”
Underdogs Episode Guide:
“Superzeroes” Premieres June 15 at 9/8c on National Geographic
Ryan Reynolds assembles a team of “Superzeroes,” apparently pathetic animals with unexpectedly awesome superpowers. Forget about the cheetah’s speed, the eagle’s eyesight, or the elephant’s brute strength, and say hello to the invisible glass frog, the indestructible honey badger and the pistol shrimp who can fire bubbles that are as hot as the surface of the sun.
“Terrible Parents” premieres June 15 at 9:54/8:54c on National Geographic
Ryan Reynolds reveals some highly questionable parenting strategies from the animal kingdom’s worst parents, the underdogs. From a goose who lays their eggs on the top of a cliff to a koala that feeds its baby poop, it’s uncertain if they are bad parents or just misunderstood. But no matter how bad you think you may be at parenting, you can’t be as bad as these guys.
“Sexy Beasts” Premieres June 22 at 9/8c on National Geographic
Forget the birds and the bees, Ryan reveals the steps to finding “the one,” underdog-style. From the “first attraction” in giant-nosed proboscis monkeys to the importance of wingmen in turkey courtship to foreplay in flying foxes, these guys have rewritten the rule book on messy and complicated relationships.
“The Unusual Suspects” premieres June 22 at 9:53/8:53c on National Geographic
Ryan Reynolds puts the spotlight on the underdogs who get ahead by sneaky tactics. From the master-of-disguise frogfish to a butt-biting jackal and a multi-headed caterpillar playing the decoy, these are the masters of deception and deceit. And bringing all these hustlers together is the greatest con artist of them all—a cunning macaque who feeds on the spoils from unsuspecting tourists.
“Total Grossout” Premieres June 29 at 9/8c on National Geographic
Ryan gives his unique take on the animals who use gross-out tactics to achieve their goals, from defending their home to finding a mate and winning at the game of life. His cast includes manatees that use flatulence to control their buoyancy and cave-dwelling fungus gnats that create beautiful, illuminated fly traps from the mucus lit by their bioluminescent butts.
