UK crime scene comedy The Cleaner has been given a second season.

Greg Davies will reprise his role as contractor Paul “Wicky” Wickstead who, in the course of his work, meets the relatives of murder victims, employers, neighbours, acquaintances and occasionally even murderers themselves.

Adapted from the hit German comedy Der Tatortreiniger (Crime Scene Cleaner), it averaged around 4 million UK viewers once catch-up viewing was taken into account.

It co-stars Zita Sattar as Ruth, a police officer and Wicky’s friend, plus David Mitchell, Helena Bonham Carter, Stephanie Cole, Ruth Madeley, Layton Williams, Jo Hartley and Paul Chowdhry and Barry Castagnola in guest roles.

The series screens in Australia on BritBox.
