Pitch Perfect is Back With Spinoff Series Nobody Wants to Watch
No one's there to sing along?
A television spinoff of Pitch Perfect, dubbed Bumper in Berlin, will arrive on Peacock very soon for all the movie series fans to enjoy... except to one seems to be overly enthusiastic about the upcoming premiere.
The on-screen couple of Adam Devine and Sarah Hyland, whom we enjoyed on Modern Family, returns to make some more music. Bumper in Berlin is set several years after the events of the Pitch Perfect movies. Devine returns as Bumper Allen, who now moved to Germany in order to use the opportunity and revive his music career when one of his songs becomes a big deal in Berlin.
However, with the premiere coming in a couple of weeks, it seems that Pitch Perfect fans are not really into the show.
Many people reacted with a "we don't care" line, mainly because of the character choice.
"They're doing a spin off and they chose his character out of all the interesting and less annoying cast," Twitter user TheWoodyElf said.
Another fan argued that "not a single Pitch Perfect fan" would watch the spinoff, which is why the showrunners might be trying to hook Modern Family fans.
"If you think Pitch Perfect was meant to be a vehicle to tell a story about its male characters you are wrong! So to see the Bumper in Berlin series being celebrated is simply a mockery of what the original three movies were trying to celebrate," said Twitter user shimulacra argued.
It doesn't look like Bumper in Berlin arrives to a very warm welcome. However, some people are excited for the spinoff, hoping that it would bring them "that Haley and Andy love story ending" that many fans wanted to see on Modern Family. Others can't wait for a riff off — which is some sort of a Pitch Perfect tradition that just begs for it to be added into the spinoff as well.
Bumper in Berlin arrives on Peacock on November 23, with all six episodes to release on the same day.
