The Cleaning Lady S1-4
Winner of five international awards, The Cleaning Lady follows a whip-smart Cambodian doctor (Critics Choice winner Elodie Yung), who comes to the US for medical treatment to save her son. When the system fails and pushes her into hiding, she becomes a cleaner for the Mob.
After being a pawn caught between the FBI and the world of organised crime, in Season 4 Thony 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 opens a new path to citizenship for them both.
But in order 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 (Santiago Cabrera), the cartel’s brooding new leader.
Emmy nominee Daniel Cerone (Dexter) takes over as showrunner in Season 4.
Seasons 1-3 are ready to binge on Showmax, with new episodes of Season 4 landing every Wednesday from 25 April 2025.
