About the adaptation
Dungeon Crawler Carl follows Coast Guard veteran Carl and Princess Donut, his ex-girlfriend’s prize-winning cat, after an alien invasion wipes out most of humanity. The survivors are forced to navigate a dangerous dungeon filled with monsters, aliens, and other threats as contestants on a sadistic intergalactic reality show.
The series will be led by Chris Yost and Eric Heisserer, who will executive produce alongside Seth MacFarlane, Erica Huggins, and Rachel Hargreaves-Heald of MacFarlane’s production company, Fuzzy Door. Dinniman will serve as a co-executive producer.
The books have developed a dedicated following for their blend of fantasy, science fiction, dark humor, and video game-inspired mechanics. How closely the show will follow the source material remains unclear.

Casting details remain scarce. Dinniman confirmed during the NYCC panel that Jeff Hays, who narrates the Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobooks, will voice Princess Donut in the series.
