New Seth MacFarlane TV Show Set at Peacock Following Ted Ending

A new Seth MacFarlane project is officially in development at Peacock.

What do we know about the new Peacock show coming from Seth MacFarlane?

According to a new report from Variety, a new live-action TV series titled Dungeon Crawler Carl is in development at the streamer. The series, which is based on the LitRPG book series of the same name by Matt Dinniman, will be written by Chris Yost, who also executive produces the series. MacFarlane is also attached in an executive producer role with his Fuzzy Door banner. Dinniman, Eric Huggins, and Rachel Hargreaves-Heald will also serve as executive producers.

“An alien invasion has wiped out most of humanity and any survivors are forced to fight for their lives on a sadistic intergalactic game show,” reads the official logline of the show. “Sounds bad, right? Now try doing it with bare feet and a stuck-up, self-centered, tiara-wearing talking cat as your partner. Welcome to Dungeon Crawler World: Earth, where the apocalypse will be televised . . . and Coast Guard vet Carl finds himself stuck with his ex-girlfriend’s award-winning show cat, Princess Donut the Queen Anne Chonk, as they try to survive the end of the world, fighting monsters, aliens, an insane A.I. and even other survivors . . . all for the sake of good TV. Survival is optional. Entertainment is not.”

The series was originally acquired by Universal International Studios in early 2025 and now has a home with Peacock. In a statement on the release of the show, Dinniman assured fans that, even though the show is live-action, partnering with MacFarlane’s Fuzzy Door will lend to some great looks.

“[We’re] not going to do it if it’s gonna look like absolute sh-t,” Dinniman 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.”

The Dungeon Crawler Carl book series originally began in 2020 and has seen seven books released to date, with the eighth set to be released on May 12, 2026.
