The Dungeon Crawler Carl series, created by author Matt Dinniman, has been confirmed to have a TV adaptation in development at Peacock. The new show will be written by Chris Yost, a comic book and film/television writer with credits on projects like The Mandalorian and Thor: Ragnarok. The series will be executive produced by Yost and Seth McFarlane, and Dinnim himself. This is part of a trend of RPGs becoming mainstream, with a new fictional experience combining the mechanical conditions of the genre with the act of reading a book. Unlike choose-your-own-adventure books, which give readers a level of control but maintain a world that is “real” within the story, the LitRPG transports both the reader and the central characters into an actual RPG. The original novels, of which there are seven, take place in an 18-level dungeon crawl created from the resources and debris left behind by the destruction of planet Earth.
