Not sure if this is allowed here, but I really enjoy this series and I’m thrilled to see it’s getting a TV adaptation. I’ve always thought it seems like the perfect book to adapt, given, well you know, the whole intergalactic TV setup.

The live-action “Dungeon Crawler Carl” TV series is now officially in development at Peacock, Variety has learned.

As previously reported, Chris Yost will write and executive produce the series, with Seth MacFarlane set to executive produce under his Fuzzy Door banner. Dinniman is also an EP, as is Fuzzy Door’s Erica Huggins. Rachel Hargreaves-Heald will serve as executive in charge of production for Fuzzy Door.

Dinnman also addressed fans who were concerned about the prospect of a live-action series versus an animated one, given the fantasy nature of the books. But Dinnman expressed his confidence in MacFarlane’s ability to bring the books to life.

“[We’re] not going to do it if it’s gonna look like absolute shit,” he said. “And they will do CGI testing on Princess Donut and stuff like that. And that’s all I can say, I think. It’s all gonna hinge on what it looks like. But Fuzzy Door, specifically, if you watch ‘Ted’ or ‘The Orville,’ you’ll see that they know what they’re doing when it comes to this.”

    Right? I really hope they use Jeff Hays for this. He is the only voice I want to hear in this role.

    He’s the only one I can accept hearing NEW ACHIEVEMENT, or creepy breathing from

      The first trailer will drop and exactly 30 minutes later someone will upload an overdub with Jeff and IT WILL BE SO MUCH BETTER.
