While season two is just arriving in the UK, the crime drama has also been renewed for a third season which began airing in the US in March and is ongoing.
It comes as the show was hit by a real-life tragedy in January with the death of star Adan Canto aged just 42, of appendiceal cancer.

The renowned Mexican actor also appeared in shows such as Designated Survivor and The Following, as well as the X-Men film, Days of Future Past.
Adan’s deteriorating health meant he spent some time away from the show.
Although he planned to return to The Cleaning Lady, this would sadly never come to pass.
