Ten years after college, "Pitch Perfect" hero Bumper Allen lives a boring existence working as a security guard for his alma mater and singing a cappella as a hobby with the less-than-enthusiastic Tonehangers. But after a surprise phone call from his old acquaintance Pieter, Bumper is convinced he can make his musical dreams of becoming a pop star come true by dropping everything and moving to Berlin. With the help of an entourage of German collaborators, Bumper's goal is to perform a hit single at the famous German Unity Day. As Bumper grows into the musical artist he's always wanted to be, he finds long-lost confidence and romance along the way.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

This unlikely spinoff has a surprising amount of heart, but Bumper in the Berlin can only sustain its thin premise for so long before the whole conceit goes off-key.

Nina Metz Chicago Tribune The series can’t quite sustain the kind of pacing it needs. A madcap energy might have served the material better and it wouldn’t have sacrificed the show’s good-hearted vibe. Rated: 2/4 Nov 23, 2022 Full Review Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly 'Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin' is a slight but unexpectedly amusing spin-off of the film franchise. The show won't win any trophies for originality, but it keeps a pleasant beat thanks to an appealing ensemble and a fat heart. Rated: B Nov 23, 2022 Full Review Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter A tiresome extension of a tired franchise. Nov 22, 2022 Full Review Shannon O'Connor The Daily Beast Unfortunately, none of this adds up to recreating the same magic as the films have—not least of all because the show ditches the characters that made us love Pitch Perfect in the first place... Feb 28, 2023 Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com A little Adam Devine goes a long way but luckily he has a fascinating co-star in Sarah Hyland to smooth things out. Rated: 5/10 Jan 10, 2023 Full Review Lindsay Press Culturess A show to watch for fun and nostalgia but lacks the heart of the original trilogy. Jan 6, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Ryan R An absolutely great comeback for the Pitch Perfect series and I love how the story gets better and better. Bumper finally becomes a good character that has a great heart. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Weston T Bad character in an even worse TV show. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/19/23 Full Review D Tho L Good songs. I personally think the Kramer siblings steal the soul, a must-see if you happen to be a Pitch Perfect fan. Light-hearted. Enjoyable. Could be done with fewer episodes, I found some parts unnecessary. Better than the third installment of Pitch Perfect anyway. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/15/23 Full Review Mark H The "acapella songs" to "things in-between the acapella songs" ratio is way off here. Plot-wise, this show is the epitome of "communication would have solved 90% of these problems" in the most infuriating way. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/23 Full Review slyc3 It had a lot of funny and wholesome parts but Adam Devine was really the only funny one in the show. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/18/22 Full Review Robbi Ignore the critics, a good bit of light hearted fun and escapism. It would be better if they let it be its own thing and ditched the "pitch perfect branding" holding it back. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/22 Full Review Read all reviews
