The actors, who played lovebirds onModern Family, are back on screen again inPitch Perfect: Bumper inBerlin— the series follow-up to the hit film franchise, all episodes of which dropped Wednesday on Peacock.
DeVine, of course, is no stranger to thePitch Perfectuniverse, having starred in the first two films as Bumper Allen, the arrogant and self-centered a cappella singer who falls for Rebel Wilson’s “Fat Amy” character.
Though he skipped the third movie, DeVine returns as Bumper for the spinoff series, which tracks him as he moves to Berlin in hopes to hit it big after becoming a viral video sensation. There, he meets up withPitch Perfect 2’s Pieter Krämer (Flula Borg) and his assistant Heidi (Hyland), an aspiring songwriter.
Peacock dropped a preview of the scene on YouTube Tuesday.
In the clip, Heidi takes Bumper to her favorite songwriting spot.
“I always do my best songwriting here,” she explains. “It makes me feel less lonely. Sometimes I look around at all of the people and I think, ‘They might not know the woman at the piano could be a star one day.’ "
“I believe,” Bumper enthusiastically says, telling her afterwards, “Oh my God, Heidi, that was incredible.”
