CRUSH  is a series that explores the events of the Jenny Jones murder, in which Jon Schmitz shoots his friend Scott Amadeure dead after Scott reveals his crush on Jon on an episode of The Jenny Jones Show. It is an exploration of culpability in our culture of voyeurism, capitalism and internalized homophobia.

From writer and executive producer Addison McQuigg at Peacock, the show is “set within the insane world of tabloid talk shows, weaving together a poignant tale of ambition, heartbreak and murder.”

Elizabeth Banks’ Brownstone will EP, along with Patrick Macmanus and Littleton Road Productions, Elliot Page and Matt Jordan Smith for Pageboy Productions, and Joshua Beirne-Golden. UTV and UCP will co-produce.
