As much as we’re not ready for another season of The Cleaning Lady to come to an end, the finale is almost here. The good news is that The Cleaning Lady season 4 finale will be a two-hour finale on one night.
Knowing that it’s a two-hour finale on one night should tell you something. After all, there isn’t a break coming to Alert: Missing Persons Unit, which means that this finale is going to be after its fellow Tuesday night crime drama series on FOX.
When is The Cleaning Lady season 4 finale on FOX?
The date is set for Tuesday, June 3, and it will still air at 8 p.m. ET/PT on FOX. However, The Cleaning Lady season 4 finale will run all two hours on the FOX schedule, as Alert: Missing Persons Unit wraps its season the week earlier.
This crime series has 12 episodes, while Alert only has 10. The Cleaning Lady’s season order matches the previous two seasons, and an early June wrap isn’t that surprising when you consider the series didn’t end up premiering until the end of March. The series has moved to the spring schedule to help keep it on the air due to the lower linear ratings and the packed FOX schedule this year.
Will The Cleaning Lady season 5 happen at FOX?
It’s not yet clear if the series will be renewed or canceled yet. At the time of writing, FOX hasn’t made many decisions, but those decisions are expected very soon. The FOX upfronts will happen on Tuesday, May 13, so we’re expecting to see some decisions starting today.
It’s highly likely that the series will be canceled after this season. It didn’t quite meet the highs of earlier in the show’s run, and it now sits at the bottom of all FOX shows, according to TV Series Finale. Something that could help is the streaming figures on Max, but it’s hard to get those. Plus, due to it being a broadcast show, linear ratings are still important as that’s what the advertisers go with when picking which timeslots they want to air in.
We’ll be sure to keep an eye out today and tomorrow as some of the final decisions for the season are made. But we are ready for a cancellation at this point, as much as we don’t like it.
The Cleaning Lady airs on Tuesdays at 8/7c on FOX.
