Lionsgate has licensed the game show Candy Crush<\/em> to Dubai-based Eagle Films for an Arabic-language version.<\/p>\n

The new game-show format will be adapted for the Middle East and North Africa region and produced by Beelink Productions. The 13×60-minute Arabic-language treatment of Candy Crush<\/em> is slated to go into production later this year.<\/p>\n

Peter Iacono, Lionsgate\u2019s president of international television and digital distribution, commented, \u201cWith over one trillion game rounds played since launch, Candy Crush<\/em>\u00a0is one of the world\u2019s most iconic mobile games. Fans are avid players and are extremely excited to have a live-action TV game show to watch as they play at home. We are proud to announce Eagle Films and Beelink as our first international partners and expect to announce many international adaptations to be produced in the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jamal Sannan, CEO of Eagle Films, said, \u201cFollowing 15 years of successful collaboration with Lionsgate, we are looking forward to working together again to bring a brand-new TV gaming experience to our viewers, which we are confident will set a new standard in game-show production values.\u201d<\/p>\n

Safa Aburizik, the managing\u00a0director of Beelink Productions, added, \u201cWe are very pleased to be the first international licensees of the Candy Crush<\/em> format after CBS. Content is always king; we believe in premium content and we strive to deliver high production standards that can succeed in our region and travel worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
