CBS aired the Candy Crush game show in the United States.
The program was an American television adaptation of King’s Candy Crush Saga. CBS premiered it on July 9, 2017, placing the series in its summer schedule. The hour-long competition featured teams of two completing challenges inspired by the mobile puzzle game, with the winning team competing for a guaranteed $100,000 prize.
The television format was much larger than ordinary phone gameplay. Contestants interacted with two 30-foot touchscreens and also took part in physical challenges. The production was made through a partnership involving CBS, King, Lionsgate Television, and CBS Television Studios, with Matt Kunitz among the executive producers.
CBS’s Candy Crush lasted only one season, totaling nine episodes. The finale aired as a two-hour special on September 2, 2017, after which the show was canceled. The network detail is sometimes confused with the game’s publisher: King created and published Candy Crush Saga, but CBS broadcast the American television series.
