The dark comedy stars Greg Davies as crime scene cleaner Paul “Wicky” Wickstead.
Co-written by Davies, the series follows 'Wicky' on more of his eventful cleaning jobs, armed again with his chemicals, scrubbing brushes and cleaning rags.
Wicky removes more gruesome remains at the scenes of new crimes, including in a theatre, an electrical goods store, and a stately home.
It is here he meets some more unusual characters and gets sucked into their worlds as he can’t help but gossip as he cleans, all the while trying to get down to the pub.
Other familiar faces making an appearance in season two will be; the likes of Zoë Wanamaker, Asim Chaudhry and Alex Lawther.

Ben Caudell, commissioning editor for BBC said: “It’s fantastic to see such a compelling line-up of guest stars in this new second series of The Cleaner, each creating a unique comic character to lock horns and spar with Greg as Wicky. Every episode is a terrific TV treat.”
BBC Studios will distribute the series globally, excluding German language markets. Further broadcast details will be confirmed in due course.
As well as appearing on 'The Cleaner', Mark Lewis Jones will also once again be starring as Tom Christie in Outlander when its seventh season comes out in the summer - so it looks as though we will be seeing a lot of him on our screens in the coming months!
