Announced on Sept. 21, Peacock’s ‘Pitch Perfect’ TV series will feature a familiar favorite from the original movies.
TV & Movies Aca-believe it! If it’s been too long since you sang along to the acapella stylings of the Barden Bellas, Treblemakers, and co., you’re in luck — a Pitch Perfect TV series is on the way. The new series, announced by Variety on Sept.21, will debut on Peacock and “is set several years after the events of the films.” And for Pitch Perfect fans who are wary of a Barden reboot trying to replicate the original films’ charm with an all-new class, rest assured this is a true continuation of the Pitch Perfect trilogy’s story. Or, at least, one of its most memorable characters: Bumper Allen. Adam Devine will be back as the former head Treblemaker “who moves to Germany to revive his music career when one of his songs becomes big in Berlin,” according to Variety. So maybe it’s finally time for Bumper’s big break. Or maybe his international tour will be as beautifully ridiculous as his stint on The Voice. Which, if you remember from Pitch Perfect 2 ’s mid-credits scene, actually turned out OK. Devine isn’t the only talent from the original three films returning for the Pitch Perfect series. Elizabeth Banks herself, who produced (and appeared in) all three installments, will be one of the series’ executive producers.
