Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin trailer: Adam Devine is big in Germany for Peacock’s spinoff series

Fans of the Pitch Perfect film franchise might want to pack their bags because Adam Devine‘s Bumper is heading to Germany for the next stage of his singing career. Peacock dropped the first Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin trailer on Wednesday, teasing many laughs and stars for the anticipated spinoff series. 

In addition to showing off the Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin trailer, NBC announced it would air the series in its entirety through Peacock starting on November 23. NBC will also air the premiere episode and a sneak peek of episode 2 on Monday, November 28th at 10 PM after The Voice.

Written and showrun by Megan Amram, Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin follows Devine’s character, who moves to Berlin after learning he’s a hit in the land of quality beer, lederhosen, and courageous pornography. Throughout his journey, Bumper makes new friends, acquires a new rival, and discovers that fame and fortune don’t happen without a lot of heart and hard work.

Joining Devine in the Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin trailer are Sarah Hyland (Modern Family, Shadowhunters), Flula Borg (Saturday Night Live, The Suicide Squad), Jameela Jamil (The Good Place, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law), and Lera Abova (Anna, Good Side of a Bad Man).

“To think this journey began over 15 years ago – from the discovery of Mickey Rapkin’s book, to three incredible films, and now a television series. We could never have imagined the life that this story would take on. It was really important to us that ‘Bumper in Berlin’ be recognizable to the fans, for its irreverent comedy and phenomenal music, but also entirely distinct from what you’ve seen before. We wanted to honor The Barden Bellas and the ‘Pitch Perfect’ world, while expanding into a fresh and brilliantly weird character journey,” executive producer Elizabeth Banks said. “This story is about second chances, friendship and the idea that your dreams can come true in unexpected ways – anywhere in the world, at any point in your life. When we brought Megan Amram on board, it was clear she shared that vision and brought the whole Berliner world and characters to life in a way that only Megan could.”

“With Bumper in Berlin, the other producers and I decided we wanted to expand the world of ‘Pitch Perfect’ into something recognizable yet unique. We wanted to keep what made the movies special but create a new world that felt completely original,” Amram remarked.
