The makers of 'Queer Eye' return to Kansas City for a show about decluttering after death

Kansas City leaders announced that California-based Scout Productions and Amy Poehler's production company will film a Peacock/NBC Universal series in Kansas City this summer.
Kansas City will be the setting for the first season of a new Peacock/NBC Universal series, “The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning.”

Adapted from a 2018 book by Swedish author Margareta Magnusson, the show involves her innovative method for healing from grief after the sudden deaths of her husband and mother. Cleaning up the belongings they left behind allowed her to move on. Her advice includes re-appropriating loved ones' items as gifts, thinking about organizing their digital afterlives and discarding things that would cause their family embarrassment.

Co-producers of the series are former “SNL” star Amy Poehler's company Paper Kite Productions and California based Scout Productions, which filmed Netflix’s "Queer Eye" in Kansas City in 2018.
