Peacock Orders Dungeon Crawler Carl TV Series From MacFarlane-Backed Team

Peacock has given a series order to Dungeon Crawler Carl, adapting Matt Dinniman’s bestselling books for TV with Seth MacFarlane’s Fuzzy Door producing alongside Universal Global Television. Chris Yost will write and serve as an executive producer, with Dinniman as a non-writing EP and MacFarlane also an EP. The logline centers on a post-apocalyptic Earth where survivors are forced to compete in a savage intergalactic game show, partnered with a talking cat; the book series has sold over 10 million copies, and the project originally landed at Peacock after Universal International Studios acquired it in 2025.
