Attention crawlers!

Deadline have confirmed that Jeff Hays, the narrator and producer of all eight Dungeon Crawler Carl books, has been cast as the voice of Princess Donut in the Peacock TV adaptation of Matt Dinniman‘s best-selling LitRPG series.

Hays was the only obvious choice to voice the tiara-wearing, hat-collecting Queen Anne Chonk, having voiced Donut – and every other character – in the audibook version of Dinniman’s series.  His appointment marks the first casting news since the show was ordered to series at Peacock last month.

For those unfamiliar with the series, here’s the official show blurb:

An alien invasion has wiped out most of humanity and any survivors are forced to fight 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.

Survival is optional. Entertainment is not.
