- The final vlog, “Thank you and Goodbye,” was uploaded on September 22, 2026.
- Kjellberg says his son Björn deserves more privacy, which is why the family vlogs are stopping.
What happened
In the vlog “Thank you and Goodbye,” PewDiePie says it is “the end of the vlogs” and that he will no longer make family-focused videos. The video was posted on September 22, 2026, and according to the creator, it closes a run of family vlogs he made together with Marzia. In the video description, Kjellberg says he and Marzia started these vlogs about four and a half years ago, placing the series in the context of his recent content history.
According to the video description and the statements made in the vlog, the family began filming these videos when their son Björn was still very young. Kjellberg says Björn deserves more privacy and should be able to decide for himself how much public attention he gets. The source also explicitly says the reason for stopping is that they did not want to keep documenting his early life in the same way as before.
The available information makes it clear that PewDiePie is ending this family-focused vlog series, but it does not confirm that he is stopping all YouTube content entirely. Still, the video marks the end of the family vlogs as they have existed so far. The source also notes that the video appeared on PewDiePie’s own channel, making this a direct statement from the creator rather than a third-party summary.

Background
PewDiePie and Marzia started the family vlogs about four and a half years ago, according to the video. The description also says their son Björn is still young and needs more privacy. The provided external context lines up with that, with multiple summaries saying the family is ending the vlogs to give Björn more space as he grows up.
The video presents “Thank you and Goodbye” as the closing chapter of the family-focused series. Based on the available source, it is not possible to say whether PewDiePie will later return with similar family videos. The fact-report context does note that the creator had already shifted from gaming to lifestyle and family vlogs, and that this change was visible in late 2025. The available context also mentions May 2026 as part of that transition, but does not give a full start or end date for the series.

The provided context says Felix Kjellberg broke through around 2010 with gaming videos and later became one of the biggest YouTube channels in the world. In 2022, he was overtaken by MrBeast as the most-subscribed YouTube creator. That makes the end of the family vlogs another new phase in a career that has already seen several content shifts.
