Peacock Developing Live-Action Dungeon Crawler Carl With Seth MacFarlane’s Fuzzy Door
The project signals Peacock’s bet on a fast-growing LitRPG franchise under a strict quality bar.
Overview
- Peacock put a live-action adaptation of Matt Dinniman’s Dungeon Crawler Carl into development with Seth MacFarlane’s Fuzzy Door producing, according to trade reports.
- Chris Yost will write and executive produce, with MacFarlane, Erica Huggins, and Dinniman as executive producers and Rachel Hargreaves-Heald overseeing for Fuzzy Door.
- An official logline describes survivors of an alien attack forced to compete on a lethal interstellar game show, pairing Coast Guard vet Carl with a tiara-wearing talking cat named Princess Donut.
- No casting, pilot order, or start of filming has been announced, and Dinniman says the team will only move ahead if contract approvals and visual-effects tests meet their standards.
- The book series spans seven novels with an eighth due in May, giving the potential show a deep well of stories if the adaptation advances.
