As of this writing, there's no word on new cast members joining The Cleaning Lady in season 3. 

Adan Canto (Designated Survivor), who portrayed Arman Morales in the first two seasons of the series, was battling some health issues that prevented him from returning to film in December. The plan was that he'd rejoin the cast later in the season, but sadly he passed away in January after a private battle with appendiceal cancer. He'll be remembered by the cast and crew of The Cleaning Lady with a title card when the show returns.

The Cleaning Lady season 3 plot

Here's the description of the series from Fox:

"Developed by Miranda Kwok (The 100) and executive-produced by showrunner Melissa Carter (Queen Sugar), Shay Mitchell (You, Pretty Little Liars), David Dean Portelli, Rose Marie Vega and Paola Suarez, The Cleaning Lady is an emotionally driven character drama about a whip-smart Cambodian doctor, Thony, who comes to the US for a medical treatment to save her ailing son, Luca. With her son diagnosed with a life-threatening immunodeficiency disorder and her husband, Marco, struggling with a gambling addiction and unable to get a visa, Thony is left to save the boy on her own. Where she once had it all — a successful career as a doctor, loving husband and family — Thony is now in Las Vegas with her sister-in-law, Fiona (Martha Millan, The OA), waiting for a matching bone marrow donor for Luca, while struggling to make ends meet as an undocumented worker.

"However, when the system fails and pushes her into hiding, she refuses to be beaten down and marginalized. Instead, through an unexpected run-in with a lieutenant of a powerful crime syndicate, Arman Morales (Adan Canto, Designated Survivor, The Following), she becomes a cleaning lady for their operation. Crossing into a world of moral greys, Thony begins to live a double life, keeping secrets from her family, while cleaning crime scenes for Arman and dodging the law, including the smooth-talking FBI Agent Garrett Miller who is in pursuit. Using her cunning and intelligence to forge her own path in the criminal underworld, Thony does what is necessary to save Luca – even if it means sacrificing her own soul in the process."
