But it isn\u2019t, is it? What relationship is smooth?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fans are keen to know if they can expect more of Wicky\u2019s extraordinary crime scene encounters, so here\u2019s everything we know so far about the future of The Cleaner on BBC One and iPlayer.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Will there be The Cleaner season 3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The BBC has not yet confirmed whether The Cleaner will return for season 3, with a decision likely to be made soon based on the show\u2019s viewership across its terrestrial broadcast and streaming release.<\/p>\n<p>However, creator and star Greg Davies has made it clear that he\u2019s interested in making more episodes of the sitcom (more on that below).<\/p> <h2><strong>What could happen in a potential The Cleaner season 3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Speaking at an event to mark the launch of The Cleaner season 2, Davies was enthusiastic about the idea of penning more stories featuring Wicky and his clients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the possibilities are endless for the things that we could delve into, and that\u2019s one of the things that excites me about the show,\u201d said the actor and <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/taskmaster-season-15-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Taskmaster<\/a> presenter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we get to carry on doing it, there\u2019s so many places we can go and so many things we can look at and dwell upon; aspects of life to be put under the microscope for a little while. But I hope in an accessible and entertaining way,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who could be in The Cleaner season 3 cast?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\"

return for a third season, it\u2019s very likely that Greg Davies and Zita Sattar would return as colleagues Wicky and Ruth, who seem poised to begin a romantic relationship in the next chapter.<\/p>\n<p>As for the guest cast, it\u2019s impossible to predict who could appear, with several major names popping up so far including\u00a0Helena Bonham Carter, Simon Callow, Zo\u00eb Wanamaker and Asim Chaudhry.<\/p>\n<p>Davies told press: \u201cIt\u2019s just madness that these proper actors agreed to come and do it. I want to say to them: \u2018What are you doing here?\u2019 It\u2019s ridiculous because they\u2019re what I call proper actors. They\u2019re trained and everything. Yeah, it\u2019s amazing. And it\u2019s also amazing to see them work and to see how they snap in and out of characters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cWe\u2019ve ended up with people I never dreamt of. It\u2019s surreal seeing someone like Simon Callow delivering, as you\u2019ll see in that episode, preposterous lines that are beneath him.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is there a trailer for The Cleaner season 3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately not! We\u2019re still waiting to hear whether The Cleaner has been recommissioned by the BBC, so it will likely be some time before any new footage arrives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Cleaner seasons 1 and 2 are available to stream on <a href=\"\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/iplayer\/episodes\/p09pm359\/the-cleaner&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">BBC iPlayer<\/a>.
