The Cleaning Lady

Élodie Yung has been cast as Reyna Salonga, “a whip-smart Cambodian doctor who was working in a top medical center in Manila, Philippines, where she met her Filipino husband Marco Salonga. After their son was diagnosed with a rare, life-threatening immunodeficiency disorder, Reyna comes to the U.S. for a medical treatment to save their ailing son. But when the system fails and pushes her into hiding, Reyna refuses to be beaten down and marginalized. Instead, she becomes an on-call cleaning lady for the mob, while keeping secrets from her undocumented Filipina sister-in-law Fiona Salonga (Ginger Gonzaga) and dodging the FBI. Willing to do anything to save her son, Reyna walks the tightrope of morality, breaking the law for all the right reasons — and eventually forges her own path in the criminal underworld as she starts playing the game by her own rules.”

This actress joins already cast: Ginger Gonzaga, Adan Canto, and Vincent Piazza.

Miranda Kwok wrote the screenplay for the Michael Offer-directed pilot episode.
