What’s not clear is whether Bloom will star in the story or whether he’s just remaining behind the camera for this one.
What is The Cleaners about?
If you get the sense of some sort of psychological thriller just from the name, you’d be partially right. In this world, anything anyone touches can retain memories. People can then touch those objects and gain the memories people have left behind.
It’s up to the Cleaners to sanitize the objects, removing the memories for the safety of everyone. When a young man inherits his family’s cleaning company, he takes on a mysterious commission.
However, it’s a retelling of a fairy tale. Of course, traditional fairy tales didn’t always have happy endings, so don’t expect that with this retelling.
What about the series?
As for the show, there isn’t a release date for that just yet. Pre-production work will only just be underway now that Amazon has greenlit the series. We’ll bring more information when we know it.
