Peacock‘s Pitch Perfect spinoff Bumper In Berlin has been renewed for a second season. Season 1 launched in November and scored the biggest comedy premiere in Peacock history.
According to the streamer, the series was watched by more accounts in its launch weekend than any other Peacock Original comedy to date, eclipsing Peacock’s previous top comedy debut, Craig Robinson’s Killing It, which is also returning for a second season this year.
Deadline previously reported that a renewal for the series was imminent, even as Peacock shifts its strategy toward more drama development in 2023. “We knew fans of the Pitch Perfect franchise were going to sing the praises of Bumper in Berlin and enjoy seeing a new side of Adam Devine’s character,” said Susan Rovner, Chairman, Entertainment Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “Along with our partners at UTV, Megan Amram, Elizabeth Banks and Max Handelman crafted an incredibly unique and charming story with new takes on iconic songs.
