Dungeon Crawler Carl, the celebrated science fantasy LitRPG book series, is making its transition to television.
Peacock has greenlit the adaptation as a straight-to-series drama, with Chris Yost and Eric Heisserer appointed as co-showrunners. Yost, known for his work on "Thor" and "The Mandalorian," will team up with Heisserer, creator of "Shadow and Bone" and writer of "Arrival."
The series is set after an alien invasion devastates humanity, forcing survivors into a brutal intergalactic game show. The narrative centers on Carl and his unlikely companion, a talking cat named Princess Donut, as they navigate a world filled with monsters, aliens, and a ruthless AI.
Survival is secondary to entertainment in this televised apocalypse. The show's development marks a seven-year journey since Matt Dinniman's original vignettes gained traction in 2019.
