“We are excited about our collaboration with Pocket Aces, who are known for their entertaining stories that strike a chord with the youth. We always root for the underdogs and Crushed is one such interesting story which is not about the lead characters, but about their two side-kicks. This story will bring back high school nostalgia and we are eagerly awaiting its release on Amazon miniTV,” said Girish Prabhu, Head of Amazon Advertising.

“With Crushed, our aim has been to push the envelope by telling a compelling teenage love story based in a tier 2 city high school while staying true to the Dice DNA.

Amazon miniTV has been extremely supportive of our creative vision and we look forward to the upcoming release of Crushed on the service.” said Akshata Samant, Showrunner, Crushed, Dice Media.
