Megan Amram, executive producer of Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin, is already teasing season 2 story details. The comedy series, a spin-off of the popular and widely successful Pitch Perfect movie franchise, premiered on Peacock on November 23. It follows Adam DeVine's Bumper Allen, 10 years after college and his stint with the Barden Treblemakers, as he moves to Germany to pursue his dreams of becoming a pop star upon discovering one of his songs was a hit overseas. In addition to DeVine, the show stars Sarah Hyland, Jameela Jamil, Lera Abova, and Flula Borg, who reprises his role of Pieter Krämer from Pitch Perfect 2.
Now, in speaking with TVLine, Amram is sharing how Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin's finale could lead into a potential season 2, and reveals that ideas as to where the series can go next may have already been mapped out. Season 1 ended with the Olympic rings being suspended over Bumper as he tried to predict the future, and Amram goes on to state that she likes the thought of DeVine's character competing for the German team, but says that "anything could happen!" Read Amram's comments regarding season 2 of Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin below:
"I have some ideas for Season 2, it’s hard to not play the game of planning ahead. I do love the idea of Bumper competing on the Olympics team, throwing javelin for Germany or something. Who knows, anything could happen!"
Pitch Perfect: Bumper In Berlin Season 1 Ending Explained
The ending of Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin has left many fans eager to find out what happens next. The character was ultimately able to achieve his goal of performing at Unity Day, but things took a sudden turn shortly after. Heidi revealed to Bumper that she had been scouted by a Los Angeles record label, and while the pair contemplated their future together, they were interrupted by Thea, who presented Bumper with a set of rules concerning their fake marriage and living arrangement. With the final moment focusing on the Olympic rings in the sky, it is easy to understand why fans of Bumper in Berlin took that as a hint of what is to come.
If given a season 2 on Peacock, it will be interesting to see what transpires between Bumper and Heidi, who has her own potentially life-altering decision to make regarding her dreams, as she appears conflicted about Bumper and his marriage to Thea. Romance has always been a part of the Pitch Perfect films, but in Bumper in Berlin, it feels like more of a focus as DeVine's character grows and seeks to finally move past his college days. Audiences will recall that Bumper's sham marriage was Heidi's idea, and the character's best chance at avoiding deportation, after he received a notice that he had to return to America.
Bumper Taking On The Olympics Would Be Great For Pitch Perfect
As fans await news concerning Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin's renewal, there is a lot to be excited about when it comes to Amram's ideas for a season 2. Keeping the integrity of the franchise in mind, music will likely still be a large part of the show, but exploring the Olympics could prove to be a great concept. Pitch Perfect has gone international in the past, with the second film highlighting a world a cappella championship and the third installment involving a USO tour. The Olympics could serve as another venue for possible rivalries and riff-offs, but it would also see Bumper competing in something other than singing. With this potential setting, as well as the dynamic between Bumper and Heidi, there is a lot to look forward to in a potential Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin season 2.
