2021 UK comedy The Cleaner, starring Greg Davies and Helena Bonham Carter in episode one, premieres on ABC Entertains on Tuesday.
The series screened a second season internationally in 2023.
Wicky is a crime scene cleaner. When the detectives are done, he moves in, armed with his bleach and scrubbing brushes. His job brings him into contact with the strangest people: those who knew the victims, and sometimes even the killers themselves. But because he’s a chatty man, he tends to gossip rather more than he cleans.
Episode 1
Professional crime scene cleaner Wicky (Greg Davies) has headed to the suburbs to mop up after a particularly grizzly murder: your classic ‘housewife finally snaps’ stabbing-based incident. It’s a pretty standard Wednesday for Wicky, who is working with great speed to finish in time to make it to his favourite curry night at the local. If only he would stop being interrupted by people unexpectedly dropping in on the crime scene. Including a mysterious, heavily armed woman (Helena Bonham Carter).
8:30pm Tuesday June 4 on ABC Entertains.

The Cleaner was great. Smashed and really enjoyed both seasons on Britbox. Hope there is a S3 on day.
Reads like a synopsis of Shaun Micallef’s “Mr & Mrs Murder”… I’m interested to watch.
