PEACOCK has lined up Eric Heisserer to co-run its upcoming live-action ‘Dungeon Crawler Carl’ TV series.

Heisserer — known for creating Netflix fantasy series ‘Shadow and Bone’ — will serve as co-showrunner alongside Chris Yost, who was previously announced as writer on the project.

The show is based on Matt Dinniman’s best-selling LitRPG novel series ‘Dungeon Crawler Carl’, which has built a dedicated fanbase thanks to its game-meets-fantasy premise.

Both Yost and Heisserer are set to executive produce the series as well, putting them firmly in charge of steering the adaptation from page to screen.
