"We're excited to be bringing Clue to television, as the property exemplifies the qualities we look for: good storytelling, compelling characters, kids and family gameplay together and group problem solving," says Margaret Loesch, president and chief executive of The Hub. "The opportunity to develop a program based on such an iconic and immensely popular game is unique and we believe the television adaptation will be very popular with kids and their families."
