Sean Lew: Difference between revisions

On February 1, 2023, Fox decided to renew ''The Cleaning Lady'' for third season and Sean stays regular on the show. The early renewal for The Cleaning Lady could also serve as a hedge against the eventual strike by writers, actors or directors in the coming months. On-air ratings for The Cleaning Lady cooled some in its second season: The drama averaged 3.52 million viewers per episode with a week of delayed viewing, according to Nielsen (those figures don’t include streaming), versus 5.17 million for its first season. Per Fox, the show’s multi-platform audience was 5.4 million viewers for season two, a 53 percent jump over the Nielsen seven-day figure.<ref>[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/cleaning-lady-renewed-season-3-fox-1235314970/ ‘The Cleaning Lady’ Renewed for Third Season at Fox With New Showrunner]</ref> But after five months of the WGA Strike, the premiere is not expected before 2024.
