Overview
- Peacock is developing a live-action series based on Matt Dinniman’s Dungeon Crawler Carl, Variety reported.
- Chris Yost will write and executive produce, with Seth MacFarlane, Matt Dinniman and Erica Huggins as executive producers, and Rachel Hargreaves-Heald overseeing for Fuzzy Door.
- The project has not received a series order, with next steps tied to contract decisions and visual effects tests for key characters such as the talking cat Princess Donut.
- Universal International Studios acquired the rights in early 2025 after the books drew a strong following in LitRPG, a style that mixes role‑playing game mechanics with storytelling.
- The book series counts seven published entries, with an eighth due May 12, offering ample source material if Peacock proceeds.
