Rachel Seo In a move that signals the continuing ascent of digital creators, popular YouTuber and multiplatform content producer Alan Chikin Chow has opened a new 10,000-square-foot production studio space in Los Angeles.

Chow, who is the most-watched YouTube Shorts creator, regularly rakes in 1 billion views per month. His YouTube channel, at over 67 million subscribers, boasts a larger following than Taylor Swift’s.

To date, his “Alan’s Universe” series has garnered over 500 million views across multiple platforms. “I truly believe that YouTube is the future of TV,” Chow tells Variety. “I believe in ‘Alan’s Universe,’ our show, as a franchise that will not only exist on digital but across multiple platforms of music, film and TV, merchandise and live touring.

I am excited that this space is the physical indicator of that future.” “Alan’s Universe,” a series that encompasses both longform and shortform video on YouTube, YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram, is “the fantasy of high school that you had before you got to high school and got jaded,” according to Chow.
