4th March 2020 - Shannyn Sossamon joins cast
Shannyn Sossamon (Wayward Pines, Sleepy Hollow) has been cast as the the lead in The Cleaning Lady, Fox’s drama pilot based on the Argentinian series. Sossamon will play the title character in the project.
Written by Kwok and directed by Michael Offer, The Cleaning Lady is a one-hour darkly aspirational character drama about a whip-smart Filipina doctor, Reyna Salonga (Sossamon), who comes to the U.S. for a medical treatment to save her ailing son. But when the system fails and pushes her into hiding, she refuses to be beaten down and marginalized. Instead, she becomes an on-call cleaning lady for the mob. Willing to do anything to save her son, Reyna walks the tightrope of morality, breaking the law for all the right reasons — and eventually forges her own path in the criminal underworld as she starts playing the game by her own rules.
