That Candy Crush TV show you didn't ask for is coming to CBS
It's not just a game anymore.
Well, it is, but King's immensely popular Candy Crush Saga is headed to CBS as a live-action reality TV show, which is about as real as it can get. Teams will compete to match three or more candies while working through obstacle courses, new technology and an interactive game board.
