Since watching the season finale on A&E a few weeks ago, I’ve had my fingers crossed that Benjamin Bratt’s new drama The Cleaner would get renewed for a second season.
My wish came true today as Bob DeBitetto, President and General Manager of A&E Network and Bio Channel, announced that there will be a 13-episode second season.
Now I don’t have to worry about the series ending with Bratt’s character leaving his family and team after his wife Melissa (Amy Price-Francis) announces they need some time apart — throwing his life in  major crisis status.

Bratt plays William Banks, an extreme interventionist who does whatever it takes with the help of his team to save people from their addictions.
Banks knows from personal experience how hard it is to fight your addiction — he’s a recovering addict and stumbled many times before finally getting “clean.”
And even though he’s turned his life completely around, that doesn’t mean his family is ready to accept that …read more
