The BBC-owned streaming platform, BritBox, has unveiled its slate for the new year, and it includes an eclectic mix of shows. From beloved detective series to comedy shows led by fan-favorite comedic stars, Britbox is upping its catalog to reflect the depth and power of British storytelling. One such stand-out show is the popular dark comedy The Cleaner, created by and starring Greg Davies, the iconic, towering host of the uber-popular game show, Taskmaster.
✕ Remove Ads Inspired by the German comedy series, Crime Scene Cleaner, The Cleaner is centered around the daily life of a government-certified cleaning technician named Paul"Wicky" Wickstead . Wicky's job is the kind nobody barely even thinks about but is nonetheless an essential one. His duty involves cleaning up crime scenes and ridding them of any signs of death or biohazard.
✕ Remove Ads The Cleaner is weirdly amazing and was an instant success when it premiered on BBC One on 10 September 2021. Averaging over 3 million viewers in the UK, the series has maintained its popularity across three seasons, with Season 2 airing in March 2023 and Season 3 recently making its premiere on 4 October 2024.
Who Else Stars In 'The Cleaner'? The Cleaner co-stars Zita Sattar as PS Ruth Edwards, a police officer who later befriends Wicky before their relationship becomes romantic. The series features some of the most exciting guest spots you won't find on many shows. Season 1 starred the legendary Helena Bonham Carter as Sheila, a woman who murders her husband after being unstatisfied with their marriage. She hopes to later elope with Wicky who later reports her to the authorities.
✕ Remove Ads The Cleaner Season 3 will be available to stream on Britbox in the summer, though the streamer is yet to state a specific date. Other shows arriving BritBox in the summer window are Sister Boniface Mysteries Season 4, Silent Witness Season 28, and Outrageous.
