Peacock just announced a Pitch Perfect spinoff with Adam Devine, because there are approximately a million streaming services, and they all need stories..

Devine starred in Pitch Perfect and its 2015 sequel (but not the 2017 threequel), in which he played antagonist Bumper. Devine, 37, will not be playing a college student, but a future version of Bumper now cultivating a music career in Germany. We can only hope Amy (Rebel Wilson) features in his adventures and brings along more of the Pitch Perfect cast. Elizabeth Banks returns as producer.

"We’re so happy to have the opportunity to bring the beloved Universal Pictures franchise Pitch Perfect to the small screen and to explore the hilarious and distinct characters in this musical-filled world," Erin Underhill, President, Universal Television said in a statement. "We’re lucky to partner with the talented Elizabeth Banks, Max Handelman and Paul Brooks, who produced the iconic films; the exceptionally funny and memorable Adam Devine; and Megan Amram, whose clever adaptation of Pitch Perfect is sure to have audiences laughing out loud and tapping their feet."

Bumper Allen will return, only on Peacock.
