DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL TV Series From Seth MacFarlane Ordered at Peacock

Peacock has given a series order to the live-action small screen adaptation of Matt Dinniman's bestseller "Dungeon Crawler Carl". The project was originally acquired by Universal International Studios in early 2025. The book has sold over 10 million copies. There have been seven entries in the series to date, with the eighth set to be released on May 12. Dinniman has previously indicated that he plans to release 10 books overall.

Here is the official synopsis: "An alien invasion has wiped out most of humanity and any survivors are forced to fight for their lives on a sadistic intergalactic game show. Sounds bad, right? Now try doing it with bare feet and a stuck-up, self-centered, tiara-wearing talking cat as your partner. Welcome to Dungeon Crawler World: Earth, where the apocalypse will be televised … and Coast Guard vet Carl finds himself stuck with his ex-girlfriend’s award-winning show cat, Princess Donut the Queen Anne Chonk, as they try to survive the end of the world, fighting monsters, aliens, an insane A.I. and even other survivors … all for the sake of good TV. Survival is optional. Entertainment is not."

"Dungeon Crawler Carl" is written and executive produced by Chris Yost ("The Mandalorian"), while Dinniman is only on board as an executive producer. MacFarlane will also executive produce alongside Fuzzy Door's Erica Huggins and Rachel Hargreaves-Heald.

Dinniman wrote on social media: "Surprise! I'm happy to announce that our friends at Peacock have officially greenlit the Dungeon Crawler Carl television series. Me, Chris Yost and Seth MacFarlane and his team at Fuzzy Door are all really excited to get to work. In the coming weeks I'll have more details, and if you’re going to SDCC be sure to catch me and Chris on our DCC panel. In the meantime I wanted to thank you, the fans, for helping make this happen".
