Famous Last Words Season 1

Based on the highly acclaimed Danish TV format Det Sidste Ord, Famous Last Words is a series of longform interviews with notable personalities who have spent their lives making significant contributions to humanity and culture. However, the guests and episodes are to be announced and aired only after the passing of the participant, with these interviews being held and preserved by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. However, with only the interviewee and interviewer present for the private recording session in a studio facilitated by remotely operated cameras, the docuseries results in a time capsule containing intimate conversations that capture the heartfelt reflections of luminaries. This approach not only captures the raw and emotional reflections of the guests, but also creates an intimate and safe space for the guest, knowing that their interview is confidential and will not air until after their death.
