As if the anticipation for Bumper’s return isn’t high enough, the tagline “he’s about to go auf,” is sure to excite. Megan Amram (The Good Place, Parks and Recreation) is attached as showrunner and writer, and she executive produces alongside Elizabeth Banks who starred in the Pitch Perfect films as well as directed Pitch Perfect 2.
“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,” Banks shared in a statement forwarded by Peacock.
“We wanted to honor The Barden Bellas and the Pitch Perfect world, while expanding into a fresh and brilliantly weird character journey. 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. ”
