In 2007, Carver began work on Supernatural as a writer and story editor. He contributed twelve scripts over the next three years and became a co-producer during the show's fifth season, but departed shortly afterwards to write and produce SyFy’s Being Human. Carver returned to Supernatural in 2012, following showrunner Sera Gamble’s departure.

In 2011, Carver served as the developer and co-showrunner for the North American remake of the series Being Human. Being Human ran for four seasons before its cancellation in 2014.[5]
Following his departure as Supernatural’s showrunner, Carver acted as writer, developer, and executive producer for The CW series Frequency, a television adaption of the 2000 film by the same name.[6] Frequency ran from 2016 to 2017.
In 2018, Carver was approached by DC Universe producers Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Geoff Johns to develop the planned DC Universe series Doom Patrol. Doom Patrol aired its first season in 2019.[7] Carver currently serves as showrunner and executive producer for the show.
In January, 2023, Carver joined Christal Henry as a writer on the upcoming Peacemaker spin-off series, Waller, set in the DC Universe along with James Gunn, Peter Safran, and Viola Davis, producing with Davis reprising her role as Amanda Waller.[8]
