Streaming audiences are about to get a taste of the litRPG phenomenon, as television creator Seth MacFarlane is officially developing a live-action adaptation of the Dungeon Crawl Carl book series for Peacock.
The wildly popular science fiction franchise blends role-playing game mechanics with high-stakes survival. The story follows the harrowing journey of a human contestant who is forced to participate in a sadistic, alien-run reality broadcast. To stay alive, the protagonist must battle through a massive, subterranean dungeon teeming with deadly monsters.
With MacFarlane steering the project, the upcoming Peacock series is poised to bring the books' signature mix of absurd extraterrestrial television and gritty dungeon-crawling action to the small screen.
