Peacock’s forthcoming Dungeon Crawler Carl series has announced its first cast member. Jeff Hays, who serves as narrator and producer of the audiobook adaptations of Matt Dinniman’s novels, will provide the voice for Princess Donut, a talking cat character central to the story. The casting was revealed during a Comic-Con panel featuring Hays alongside Dinniman and Matt Yost, the writer and executive producer overseeing the television adaptation.
Princess Donut plays a significant role in the narrative as the pet of Carl’s ex-girlfriend who gains the ability to speak once the characters become participants in an intergalactic game show orchestrated by aliens responsible for humanity’s near-extinction. The character is described as a self-centered, tiara-wearing cat who becomes Carl’s reluctant partner as they navigate the deadly competition.
Peacock greenlit the series in June through Universal Global Television in partnership with Seth MacFarlane’s Fuzzy Door Productions, which holds adaptation rights to Dinniman’s book series. Matt Yost directs the creative effort as writer and executive producer, alongside MacFarlane, Erica Huggins, and Rachel Hargreaves-Heald. Dinniman contributes as a co-executive producer. The show’s premise centers on survivors of an alien invasion forced to compete on a televised competition show where they face monsters, extraterrestrial adversaries, artificial intelligence threats, and other human competitors.
The Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobook series has achieved substantial listener engagement, accumulating over 140 million listening hours on Audible. Hays has been instrumental in the audiobooks’ success, providing narration and character voices throughout the series.
