"Pitch Perfect" Series in Works

A “Pitch Perfect” spin-off series has been ordered at Peacock with Adam Devine set to reprise his role from the movie franchise.

The series will take place several years after the events of the movies.

Devine returns as Bumper Allen, who moves to Germany to revive his music career when one of his songs becomes big in Berlin.

Bumper was the main antagonist of the first move and the leader of the all-male a cappella group, "The Treblemakers". The actor returned in the second movie as a supporting character and the love interest of Rebel Wilson’s character, Fat Amy.
