## Dinnaman on Format Options
Matt Dinnaman said live-action is cooler but animation remains possible if the live-action show underperforms.

> I think live-action is cooler than animation, personally. I strongly feel if we attempt a live-action show and it doesn’t do great, that doesn’t preclude the idea that we might not do an animated show.

## Animation as Backup Plan
If the live-action series underperforms, Matt Dinnaman says an animated adaptation could still be developed.
## Key takeaway

Peacock's live-action Dungeon Crawler Carl series begins filming in 2027 with Seth MacFarlane's company, while Matt Dinnaman says animation remains possible if the show underperforms.
