‘Crush’ Hulu First Look: See Rowan Blanchard and Auli’i Cravalho in the “Very Gay” New Rom-Com

Anchors aweigh, we have a new ship!

Hulu released the first images from Crush, the feature-length rom-com set to hit the streamer April 29. The movie, which co-writer Kirsten King described as “very gay” in a tweet, stars Rowan Blanchard and Auli’i Cravalho as high schoolers who find love in a hopeless place — the school’s track team. And yes, there’s going to be some smooching. When announcing the film in a tweet back in July, co-writer Casey Rackham emphasized that it is “REALLY, REALLY GAY!!!” So if you had any doubt, banish it: Crush is gay and proud of it.

Check out the pics, which we assume are what pops up when you ask Siri to define “precious”:

Hulu released a plot synopsis along with the super-cute images:

When an aspiring young artist is forced to join her high school track team, she uses it as an opportunity to pursue the girl she’s been harboring a long-time crush on. But she soon finds herself falling for an unexpected teammate and discovers what real love feels like.

In addition to Blanchard and Cravalho, Crush also features Isabella Ferreira, Tyler Alvarez, Teala Dunn, Rico Paris, Aasif Mandvi, Michelle Buteau and Megan Mullally. Sammi Cohen directed the movie.

This is Cohen’s feature directorial debut. She told PRIDE:

“It’s exciting to be making a coming-of-age comedy about love that normalizes the queer experience. Growing up, LGBTQ+ representation in films like Tomboy, Pariah, and But I’m a Cheerleader changed how I felt about myself. They made the invisible kid inside me feel seen, accepted and empowered. That’s what I hope this movie does for audiences today. With the discrimination and active legislation taking place right now it feels more important than ever to tell queer stories and to continue normalizing the queer experience as a human experience.”

Writer Alanna Bennett further hyped Crush, tweeting that it’s “so good and so queer,” calling it “the cute-ass queer romcom I know a lot of y’all have been yearning for.”

Hulu is also set to release Fire Island, a gay rom-com adaptation of Pride and Prejudice starring Bowen Yang and Joel Kim Booster, on June 3.
