Kyrie Irving is anticipating big things for the final chapter of his uber-popular "Uncle Drew" series.

After the first four episodes aired on YouTube, Irving is setting his sights a little higher for the fifth installment, suggesting that it could make its way to the big screen.

"I wouldn't promise the next summer, but there is something big that we're planning which I'm really excited about," Irving told Joe Vardon of cleveland.com. "Hopefully the details can be released in the forthcoming future but I'm excited about it. There will be a last chapter that will happen but I don't think it will be on YouTube."

"So the chapters are continuing," Irving said. "I'm almost known as Uncle Drew now, so, it's cool."

While Kyrie's teammate, LeBron James, owns a media company, the Game 7 hero isn't planning on joining forces with SpringHill Entertainment.

"LeBron and Maverick (Carter) are doing great things, but what we're talking about won't be with them," said Irving's agent, Jeff Wechsler, told Vardon.

"Chapter 1" of the series currently serves as the most watched basketball-related video in YouTube history, racking up nearly 47 million views since its release in 2012.
