PewDiePie, the biggest sensation on YouTube, confirmed that he is in Hollywood to shoot a TV show. The 25-year-old Felix Kjellberg from Sweden shared the news on Twitter.

It has been a good month for PewDiePie. He recently reached a new social media milestone by garnering 10 billion views on YouTube. He currently has over 39 million YouTube subscribers, making him the most popular YouTube user on the planet, TMZ reports.

According to PewDiePie, he has a very busy schedule ahead that would make him upload less often than usual on his YouTube channel. He will have to reduce from posting two videos a day to one, at least for the entire month of September. In a video, PewDiePie shared that he will be shooting a TV show, which is why he is in Los Angeles.

“I can’t really say too much of what I’m doing [in Hollywood]. People are worried it’s going to leak into the media too soon,” he said..

Recently, he shared a video blog that featured a number of brief scenes from the set of the TV show. He was shown going up to a bus and joking about how people there did not know him. He also said that the introduction of the show will present a number of famous landmarks. Felix mentioned that the experience was very unique to him. He explained that his monthly views on YouTube have been going down for a while, so he might be trying other ways to maintain his popularity such as doing TV shows and writing self-help books, Kotaku reveals.

There weren’t a lot of details provided about PewDiePie’s new TV show, as of this writing. The show’s title is yet to be revealed. Some fans speculate that there might be a number of celebrities included, considering that they are shooting in Hollywood. PewDiePie has more views than any other celebrity featured on the video streaming site so he actually enjoys some kind of fame, although people might not be fighting for his photo or autograph at the moment. With PewDiePie’s unparalleled success in YouTube, it remains to be seen if the same will be replicated on TV.

More news and updates about PewDiePie’s new TV show are expected soon. Watch one of PewDiePie’s video here:
