booksJun 19, 202627296

Peacock has given a straight-to-series order for a live-action adaptation of Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl, with Seth MacFarlane's Fuzzy Door and Chris Yost attached as executive producers and writer. Universal Global Television is also involved and Dinniman will serve as an executive producer on the show. The novels follow survivors of an alien invasion who are forced into a deadly intergalactic game show that layers video-game mechanics, dark comedy, and escalating stakes across multiple volumes. The pickup represents a major streamer push to bring the niche LitRPG format and its game-like storytelling to mainstream live-action television.
