Frei portrays Maya Campbell. When Maya took up a job as a bartender in Vegas to pay off her student loans, she had no idea her entire life would be turned around when FBI Special Agent Garrett Miller (Hudson) used his charms to turn her into a confidential informant. Maya became integral to a major FBI drug case, but when a fiery affair ended their relationship — and Garrett’s marriage — he was forced to sever all ties and walk away from the case in order to save his career. Now in Season 2, Maya comes back into the picture and Garrett becomes determined to make things right and get her out. Question is — does Maya want to be saved from the crime world she’s now deeply enmeshed in? Her character will be introduced in the second episode of Season 2.

Adan Canto, Martha Millan, Jay Mohr, Liza Weil and Shiva Negar also star.

The Cleaning Lady was developed by executive producer Kwok and executive produced by showrunner Melissa Carter (Queen Sugar), Shay Mitchell, David Dean Portelli, Rose Marie Vega and Paola Suarez. It was produced in partnership between Fox Entertainment and Warner Bros Television.

Frei toplines the forthcoming Freeform series While You Were Breeding, which follows Kacey (Frei), single for the first time in her 30s, as she escapes her fast-paced life in Los Angeles to see the world. Her other recent credits also include recurring arcs on Hulu’s Dollface and The Time Traveler’s Wife for HBO, and a starring role in Fox comedy series The Moodys. Frei is repped by Paradigm and Artists First.

Season 2 of The Cleaning Lady premieres Monday, September 19 at 9 p.m. on Fox.
