While fans were left wondering what Ashton Kutcher had been busy with following his alleged cheating,  Kutcher reportedly kept himself occupied with developing a new TV series based on another Twitter feed.

 Kutcher will again produce another Twitter-inspired TV series for CBS. It will be called "Ssh Don't Tell Steve." It is based on a Twitter account of the same name which currently has more than 18,000 followers.

The series will follow the adventures of a man and his  jobless, drunken roommate he tweets about, but does not know his life is the subject of his roommate's tweets.

The Twitter account tweets things like "Steve loudly challenging people to a drinking contest. Nobody biting, so he's just doing shots and declaring himself the winner."

But thanks largely to Mr. Kutcher who has millions of followers the feed is getting attention. 

Kutcher previously produced a TV adaptation of @sh*tmydadsays where William Shatner stars. The adaptation is based on Justin Halpern's Twitter feed on his father's musings on mundane things like a phone's resemblance to two horses
