A live-action TV series adaptation based on the popular Dungeon Crawler Carl LitRPG science fantasy book series by Matt Dinniman is being developed by Seth MacFarlane and writer Christopher Yost, who also serve as executive producers under MacFarlane's banner, Fuzzy Door, with Erica Huggins and Rachel Hargreaves-Heald, alongside the author, according to Variety. MacFarlane is coming off his second (and presumably final) season of the Peacock live-action hybrid sitcom Ted, and remains active on his animated shows Family Guy and American Dad!.

Dungeon Crawler Carl: Peacock TV Series: What We Know
The Peacock TV series logline reads, "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 the apocalypse will be televised … and 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. Survival is optional. Entertainment is not."
Dinniman's written seven books starting with the original Dungeon Crawler Carl in 2020, followed by Carl's Doomsday Scenario (2021), The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook (2021), The Gate of the Feral Gods (2021), The Butcher's Masquerade (2022), The Eye of the Bedlam Bride (2023), and The Inevitable Run (2024). His eighth work, A Parade of Horribles, is slated for release on May 12th. Dinniman's collaboration with MacFarlane and Yost dates back to August 2024, before the recent announcement that the series would be live-action.
