Overview
- Peacock has given Dungeon Crawler Carl a straight-to-series order with Seth MacFarlane’s Fuzzy Door and Universal Global Television producing and Chris Yost attached as writer and executive producer.
- Author Matt Dinniman will serve as a co-executive producer on the show and confirmed he is finishing the saga with the concluding material planned as a two-part finale.
- The project will be a live-action adaptation of the LitRPG dark-comedy novels about Earth becoming an 18-level dungeon where survivors must play a brutal intergalactic reality-TV survival game.
- The series is in early development and reported to be moving quickly, but no cast, episode count, or premiere date has been announced and creators plan to share more at San Diego Comic-Con.
- Industry coverage says having nearly all source material available reduces the risk of the TV series outpacing the books and positions Peacock to build on the franchise’s built-in fanbase and tie-in products.
