Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin is a spin-off of Peacock’s series
Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin is rocking with Adam DeVine and Sarah Hyland.
Bumper Allen (Adam Devine), who relocates to Germany to resurrect his music career when one of his songs becomes a hit in Berlin, will be the focus of Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin.
According to Banks, the spin-off series, which makes its Peacock debut on Nov. 23, is not "a knock-off [of] a Pitch Perfect film, but rather a show that was distinct and could live on its own."
Devine says his role was "pretty one-dimensional" in the movies.
But in the show, "he grows as a person and you see the more vulnerable side of the Bump man," Devine shares.
The show also features Flula Borg, Sarah Hyland, Lera Abova, and Jameela Jamil in addition to Devine.
"I love our cast in part because I've worked with so many of them already," says Banks.
"Adam obviously from the original Pitch Perfect, Sarah Hyland from my Modern Family days, Flula I proudly directed in Pitch Perfect 2, and Jameela is my sister from another mister. Even Udo Kier, who I did one of my first photo shoots with... He probably doesn't remember that."
Devine claims that working with Hyland again after their time on Modern Family has been "a dream."
