The apocalypse will be televised in “Dungeon Crawler Carl.”
Variety reports that a live-action series adaptation of Matt Dinniman‘s comedic, dystopian science fantasy LitRPG books is in development at Peacock.
Christopher Yost (Thor: The Dark World, Thor: Ragnarok) is writing, with “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane serving as executive producer.
In the show, 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 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.
MacFarlane and Erica Huggins will executive produce via Fuzzy Door alongside Yost and Dinniman. Rachel Hargreaves-Heald will serve as executive in charge of production for Fuzzy Door.
Dungeon Crawler Carl book was originally self-published in 2020. The series’ eighth installment, A Parade of Horribles, is due out on May 12.
