Sony Pictures Television and ZeptoLab are to work together to develop a format for a live action game show based on Cut the Rope and popular character, Om Nom.

SPT will also have a first look at future properties developed by ZeptoLab for live action game shows.

"Every hour of every day, app producers are creating new ways to entertain global audiences, with Cut the Rope offering one of the most striking examples," said Wayne Garvie, chief creative officer, international production, SPT. "ZeptoLab is a pioneer in bringing innovative, witty and addictive apps to the world.

"We share a similar position and ambition at SPT and this collaboration will lead to forms of entertainment across all possible partners."

Misha Lyalin, CEO of ZeptoLab, added: "Sony Pictures Television has an amazing track record in developing hugely successful game shows on television. We love the idea of our fans being able to see and engage with Om Nom on the TV screen, and this partnership will let fans do just that, bringing Cut the Rope to life in a brand new, interactive way."
