‘Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin’ Season 2: This is what we know so far

Peacock has canceled the second season of its TV show ‘Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin’ as strikes hit Hollywood. The renewal was announced in January after the first season's debut on November 23, 2022, but viewing data wasn't released. The cancellation follows similar decisions due to strikes, including Amazon Prime Video's 'The Peripheral' and 'A League of Their Own.'

The strike by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) began on May 2, causing ‘Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin’ to fall behind schedule for season two. Peacock and Amazon Prime Video have made similar renewal reversals during the pandemic.

Negotiations have resumed between WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), raising hopes for a resolution to the labor dispute. The strike has been ongoing for five months, nearing the guild's previous record of 154 days in 1988.


‘Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin’ featured Adam Devine, reprising his role as Bumper Allen from the 'Pitch Perfect' film series. He portrayed the leader of an all-male a cappella group, attempting to revive his music career in Germany.

The show also starred Flula Borg, Sarah Hyland, Lera Abova, and Jameela Jamil. Megan Amram from 'The Good Place' served as showrunner and executive producer alongside Elizabeth Banks, Max Handelman, Devine, and more from 'Pitch Perfect 2.'
