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.
Poehler, who also serves as the series’ executive producer, narrates each death cleaning episode, reminding viewers that prioritizing and organizing life before death is a natural and oftentimes humorous process.
“Amy Poehler and her company Paper Kite productions were partners with Scout Productions in this project,” showrunner JJ Duncan told Showbiz Cheat Sheet. “As we all know, Amy brings with her a levity in most any situation – and yet her heart is so evident in all the work she does.”
“She really was the perfect voice to land this topic in the hearts and minds of an audience. The thing that struck me about working with Amy was witnessing...
