The First Trailer for 'The Cleaner' Season 3 Gets Violent with the Greens
The current Prime Minister may have a personality that's beaten by a head of lettuce, but at least he's lasted longer than the one in my fridge. Since lettuce is now going free as a tool of the proletariat, series creator and star Greg Davies has taken it upon himself to reappropriate it as a murder weapon. At least, that's what we think is happening in The Cleaner Season 3 trailer, which teases six new murders for Davies' Wicky to clean up after.
Based on the long-running German comedy series Der Tatortreiniger (Crime Scene Cleaner) — that is actually funny! — created by Ingrid Lausund, Davies' semi-satire of the British murder mystery reimagined as a workplace sitcom is one of the few comedies that the BBC has kept going in a time when the genre is struggling to find an audience. The dearth of comedy series has most British comedians concerned about their career longevity, which might explain how Davies manages to get the best a-listers in the business to make cameos on the show.
This season, there are a ton of familiar faces who will be watching Wicky wipe away the blood, brains, and gore as he travels from crime scene to crime scene, where death comes in all forms, even from the produce aisle.
