Attention crawlers! The voice of beloved cat character Princess Donut in Peacock’s live-action adaptation of Matt Dinniman’s Dungeon Crawler Carl has been found. The news broke live before a packed San Diego Comic-Con crowd during Penguin Random House’s“Spotlight on Matt Dinniman”panel, with Hays surprising fans during a conversation between series writer and executive producer Chris Yost and author and co-executive producer Matt Dinniman.
In Dungeon Crawler Carl, written for television by film, TV and comic book writer Chris Yost, an alien invasion has wiped out most of humanity and any survivors are forced to clash for their lives on a sadistic intergalactic game 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.
