Overview

  • Both series concluded their runs with season finales on May 27 and June 3 respectively, marking the end of three seasons for Alert and four for The Cleaning Lady.
  • In seven-day linear ratings, Alert averaged 2.16 million viewers and The Cleaning Lady drew 1.68 million, placing them at the bottom of Fox’s scripted lineup.
  • Fox considered retooling Alert and reworked The Cleaning Lady following Adan Canto’s death, but neither show regained sufficient audience traction to secure renewals.

  • Decisions on the animated comedy The Great North and anthology series Accused remain pending after their current seasons conclude.
