It's almost springtime: Find out when NM-filmed 'The Cleaning Lady' will premiere on TV

It’s almost time for “The Cleaning Lady.”

The Fox series is filming in and around Albuquerque and is set to premiere its third season on March 5.

The New Mexico Film Office aims to secure productions that will spent multiple seasons in the state.

Amber Dodson, NM Film Office director said the economic impact of the series is significant.

“For the third consecutive season, ‘The Cleaning Lady’ continues to employ New Mexico’s top-tier workforce, showcase our state’s diverse landscapes, and utilize soundstages and local businesses to create Las Vegas, Nevada, and Manila, Philippines for the screen,” Dodson said. “The return of this acclaimed series to New Mexico is a testament to our state’s robust film ecosystem that attracts ‘return customers’ year after year, directly benefiting our residents, businesses, and communities."

According to Dodson, the production will employ approximately 256 New Mexico crew members, six New Mexico principal actors, and approximately 2,384 New Mexico background talent.

The third season continues to tell the journey of whip-smart Cambodian doctor, Thony, played by series’ star Élodie Yung, who comes to the U.S. for medical treatment to save her ailing son. When the system fails and attempts to push her down, Thony refuses to be marginalized and instead takes matters into her own hands.

Forced to use unconventional measures to protect her family and save the ones she loves, Thony further crosses the moral line as she gets more deeply entwined in the criminal underbelly of Las Vegas, Nevada.

The series continues to examine the plight of undocumented immigrants and explores the struggles and triumphs of the human spirit. It is a story of empowerment, resilience, and hope, asking us all if the ends justify the means.

Dodson said the stakes in season three of “The Cleaning Lady” are higher and more intense than ever, from the mystery of Arman’s whereabouts to Thony’s efforts to bring Fiona back to the U.S. after was deported to the Philippines.

As Thony’s journey continues to unfold, she is entirely alone. Her world is turned upside down as she fights to protect her family, forcing her to take steps that deepen a new association with a dangerous cartel.

“The Cleaning Lady” is based on the original Argentine series.

Miranda Kwok developed the series.

Kwok and Jeannine Renshaw serve as showrunners and executive producers of season three. Rose Marie Vega and Paola Suárez also are executive producers.

Shay Mitchell and David Dean Portelli are executive consultants.
