Johan Svenson On The Gentle Art Of Swedish Death Cleaning
Based on the best-selling lifestyle book of the same name, the Peacock show The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning followed eight different people as they received guidance from the “Death Cleaners” including Johan Svenson on how to sort through their junk so their loved one would have as little hassle as possible in case of their death.
Obviously, this was a macabre subject, but the stories featured were also emotional — with the people eventually realizing their self-worth.
As one of the hosts, Johan Svensson used his eye for trends and aesthetics to make cluttered home spaces and piles of junk into visually-pleasing set-ups. He wanted his work to speak volumes about a person without taking up too much space.
But Johan wasn’t the only Death Cleaner. Aiding him were his co-stars Ella Engström (a professional organizer and interior designer), Blöm (a “happiness psychologist” and an author), and Amy Poehler (narrator)
Recalling the filming process, Johan shared that he had an “amazing time” in Kansas City in 2022 — all thanks to the “beautiful team” including J.J. Duncan (showrunner) and crew from Scout Productions.
Also, after wrapping up the filming, he did several press runs to promote the show. Their first interview was with Andy Cohen followed by New York Live.
A critic wrote, “Johan is dry, with a sense of humor that seems bold for a mainstream TV show. At one point, when Suzi, a former showgirl, is describing herself, she says that she has ‘the least amount of talent’ but ‘the best presentation,’ to which Johan savagely responds, ‘You’re like Madonna! The body, the movement, but no voice.’ Later, he jokes that he wants to design Suzi’s house to make it ‘f**kkable’ and declares, ‘Make America f**kable again!’
