"Bumper in Berlin" Cancelled: Peacock not Proceeding With Previously Ordered Season 2 Amid Strikes

Peacock is not moving forward with a second season of comedy series "Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin".
This marks a reversal of the Season 2 renewal for the offshoot from the Pitch Perfect movie franchise, which was announced in early January.
The cancellation stems from the length of the work stoppage due to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which have delayed production, creating large gaps between seasons and making shows miss their target release dates.
Season 1 was released in November 2022 and had not started pre-production on Season 2 when the WGA strike began May 2. It has now fallen significantly behind its planned timeline.
"Bumper in Berlin" got off to a strong start for Peacock, scoring the biggest comedy premiere in the streamer’s history.
