The Adventure Zone might become an actual television show.

Details are set to be announced later Thursday, so stay tuned. But in the meantime, we’re being told what Peacock has in the development pipeline. One of the shows we’re most excited about is an animated adaptation of the McElroy family’s smash podcast, The Adventure Zone.

Although The Adventure Zone doesn't have quite the same following, it's still ⛎enormously popular and would likely have similar success.
Justin had , so we don’t know if it’ll be the McElroys providing the voices or if they’ll co🌸ntract out for other voice actors. Given the iconic nature of each character’s voice, I’m hoping they stick with the McElroys.
