Fox’s The Cleaning Lady season two has cast Naveen Andrews, recently seen in Hulu’s critically acclaimed limited series The Dropout, in a series regular role. Andrews is playing Robert Kamdar, a character described as “Nadia’s gregarious and charming ex-lover, who is intent on driving a wedge between Arman and Nadia. Standing to lose everything, Arman has to fight to keep his world — and his dignity — intact, while determined to rebuild his life under the worst of circumstances.”
Andrews joins a cast that includes Élodie Yung as Thony, Oliver Hudson as FBI Agent Garrett Miller, Adan Canto as Arman Morales, and Martha Millan as Fiona. Sean Lew stars as Chris and Faith Bryant plays Jaz, Sebastien and Valentino LaSalle share time playing Luca.
Season one was one of the top five new broadcast dramas of the 2021-2022 season, with more than 12.9 million viewers checking out the first episode which aired on January 3, 2022. Season two will premiere on September 19th at 9pm ET/PT.
The Cleaning Lady is based on an Argentine series and was developed for Fox by Miranda Kwok (The 100). Kwok and Melissa Carter are the co-showrunners and serve as executive producers along with Shay Mitchell, David Dean Portelli, Rose Marie Vega, and Paola Suarez.
Fox released the following season two synopsis:
Season two of The Cleaning Lady picks up with Thony desperately trying to find her son, Luca, after he was kidnapped by his father, Marco (Ivan Shaw). With nowhere else to turn, she enlists the help of FBI Agent Garrett Miller to track him down before they leave the country.
Meanwhile, an incident involving Chris forces Fiona to shield her son by any means necessary, furthering the theme of how far a mother will go to protect her child.
This season of The Cleaning Lady continues to examine the plight of undocumented immigrants and their difficulties accessing necessary healthcare and resources. Galvanized by the many roadblocks she faced while searching for a treatment to save her son, Thony will utilize her expertise as a doctor to find ways to help her underserved community. However, as Thony continues to entwine her business undertakings with Arman, she once again crosses the moral line into the dark underbelly of Las Vegas.
