Hulu Crush Movie Release Date
In March 2022, the final title was set as Crush with a release date set for April 29, 2022, on Hulu.
By July 2021, Kirsten King and Casey Rackham had written a script based on their own life experiences, telling an LGBTQ story that would show more queer joy growing up rather than the tales typically told simply about coming out.
Sammi Cohen identified with the project, initially called Love in Color, and signed on to direct.
Rowan Blanchard and Auliʻi Cravalho were cast in the lead shortly afterward, and shooting began in the Syracuse area of New York that summer.
