The Cleaning Lady Season 3 Photo: Meet Arman’s Estranged Parents! — 2024 FIRST LOOK (Exclusive)
The Cleaning Lady is about to peel away two big layers of the onion that is Arman Morales, in the form of his never-before-seen parents.
The latest installment in TVLine’s #2024FirstLook series comes from the Fox drama’s upcoming third season, which will introduce the mother and father from whom Arman is estranged: Teresa Morales (played by NYPD Blue‘s Jacqueline Obradors) and Eduardo Morales (Dexter‘s Jason Manuel Olazabal).

Eduardo, according to his official character description, is “stubborn to a fault,” especially when it comes to Arman, who, in his eyes, “betrayed and shamed the family. Though he harbors a secret desire to reunite with his estranged son, Eduardo protects his heart in the only way he can: by hardening it.”
Teresa, meanwhile, is described as “warm and soulful,” and the fissure between her husband and son — which keeps her estranged from Arman, too — is her greatest heartbreak. “Teresa feels the shame her son brought on the family by living a life of crime,” the description reads. “Though outwardly gentle and subservient, Teresa is not afraid to stand up for her beliefs or show her love for her son.”
Teresa and Eduardo — who have been mentioned but never seen on The Cleaning Lady — will recur during Season 3, which premieres Tuesday, March 5 on Fox. In addition to Obradors and Olazabal, the series has also added Kate del Castillo (La Reina del Sur), Santiago Cabrera (Star Trek: Picard) and Clayton Cardenas (Mayans M.C.) to its upcoming episodes.
