Much-loved YouTube star PewDiePie has teamed up with the makers of The Walking Dead to create an excitingly scary “reality-adventure” series exclusively for YouTube Red.
PewDiePie – real name Felix Kjellberg – has made a name for himself by commentating for his millions of YouTube followers on the games he plays in the comfort of his own home – but the tables are very much turned in this new Scare PewDiePie series.
He will be a part of the type of horror games he loves, but whether he loves them by the end of the series is something yet to be determined…

In the first episode, Felix is sent for a health check which he’s told isn’t part of the production – making his reaction all the more brilliant when more and more bizarre things start to happen.
Not to give too much away, but he’s checked over by a “doctor” who isn’t quite who he says he is. When staff are alerted to a mental patient escaping from a restricted area, you can really see Felix starting to feel the fear – like literally see it, as the team have fitted him with a heart rate monitor which often reaches “critical levels”.
He has to reason with the patient and do exactly as he’s told by staff – which can be funny stuff, scary stuff or gross stuff.

He returns to his LA pad in one piece (just about) after a “very long and very weird” day saying he’s ready for the actual filming the next day. HA, oh Felix, that was only the beginning…
Fans tuned in to watch the video as soon as it was released.
