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.”
Holy shit! I’m literally relistening to the audiobooks right now in preparation for the new book next month! Imagine my surprise to see this here and more than 4 people excited about it!
Yost was heavily involved in Cowboy Bebop on Netflix. I believe he wrote it. I know it got a lot of hate, but I really liked it. I suspect if Netflix had marketed it to non-anime fans it would have done fairly well.
I was really hoping for animated like Vox Machina. I’m afraid live action will look like the wrong kind of cheese.
If they don’t get Jeff to do the voice of the AI I’m gonna riot
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.
Isn’t that the guy who did the really unfunny Family Guy show…?
Fuck Peacock and hate exclusives.
I think they should do it with a stylized animation, like Batman TAS or Ralph Bakshi

It does get, uh… pretty fantastical. This shit is going to be wild to see on screen.
I’m all caught up and yeah idk how they’re gonna do later books without big budget. I can’t image this going well live action.
The set pieces alone… let alone the regular non-human characters, aliens, gods, and magic.
I was thinking the same thing after reading the first book. Live action just wouldn’t work well. Should be animation imo.
There aren’t a lot of people I would expect to be able to adapt DCC well, but Seth MacFarlane is one of them. I’m looking forward to it. Too bad it’ll be a
BorantPeacock exclusive.Yeah. Seth McFarlane is about as trustworthy as any producer gets.
Sometimes, I’ll pay for a month of service from a provider that’s puts out something I want to see then set sail. 🏴☠️
Always at sea 🌊 Yarr 🏴☠️☠️
Oh nice! Ill def watch. Thanks.
