Published: August 21, 2024
The popular indie novel Dungeon Crawler Carl by Weintraub client Matt Dinniman is set to be adapted into a TV series by Universal International Studios and Seth MacFarlane’s Fuzzy Door.
The novel, which was originally self-published and has sold over a million copies, tells the story of a Coast Guard vet, Carl, forced to fight for his life in a sadistic futuristic world where aliens have wiped out most of humanity. Five sequels and a recent publishing deal with Penguin Random House have followed, including a hardcover release of the novel slated for August 27, 2024. Chris Yost, known for writing The Mandalorian and Thor: Ragnarok, is set to adapt the book for TV.
Dinniman is represented by Weintraub shareholder Matt Sugarman.
