Peacock’s live-action adaptation of Matt Dinniman’s LitRPG novels, “Dungeon Crawler Carl,” casts audiobook narrator and producer Jeff Hays as the voice of Princess Donut, a key character described as a talking cat. Multiple outlets report that Hays, who narrates and produces all eight of the currently released “Dungeon Crawler Carl” books, will take on the role for the Peacock TV series. The adaptation is developed by Seth MacFarlane’s Fuzzy Door, and the casting announcement frames Hays’s involvement as a continuation of his established work on the book audio versions of the franchise. While the reports focus on his role as Princess Donut’s voice, they also identify the project as a Peacock series drawing from Dinniman’s best-selling dystopian comedy novels. The cast news centers on Hays joining the television production to bring the character to life for screen, leveraging his experience with the audiobooks’ established narration style.
