Both series aimed at decluttering the items that don’t “spark joy.” Along the same lines, Swedish Death Cleaning is also designed to declutter. But instead of sparking joy, the goal is to organize possessions before death.
Death Cleaning shares some of the same basics as Marie Kondo
The new series, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning follows three real-life death cleaners in their journey to help families and individuals sort out and streamline their lives.

Levity, smothered with love, is the only way to make a tough topic easier to handle. That’s why producers of the breakout Peacock series, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning knew that comedian Amy Poehler was the ideal narrator.

Amy Poehler and her Paper Kite Productions partner Kate Arend are building a mini docuseries empire. The two created competition series Making It, followed by last year’s Baking It, and now they’ve teamed up with the producers of the original Queer Eye for The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning. “We like to try to work in the unscripted space in a way that isn’t about intimidation or humiliation,” Poehler says. “We’re not that interested in watching people fight.”
The actor, who narrates the show about an organizer, designer and psychologist who help people clean out their homes both in preparation for death and as a healing process, gathered at the Crosby Street Hotel for a live THR Presents panel, powered by Vision Media, where they discussed the making of the show and the “cathartic release” they get while watching.
