Our sister site Deadline reports that the decision to “un-renew” the Pitch Perfect spinoff stems from production delays caused by the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. (Previous casualties of the strikes include Prime Video’s A League of Their Own and The Peripheral.)

Bumper in Berlin starred Adam Devine as Bumper Allen, reprising his role from the Pitch Perfect movies. The series followed him to Berlin, where he reunited with former a cappella nemesis Pieter Krämer (Flula Borg) to launch his solo career in Germany.

Rounding out the ensemble were Sarah Hyland as Heidi, Jameela Jamil as Gisela and Lera Abova as Thea (aka DJ Das Boot).

View List

The show’s first season ended with Bumper marrying Pieter’s sister Thea in order to remain in Berlin long enough to perform at German Unity Day; Heidi receiving a life-changing career opportunity in Los Angeles; and Pieter flirting with the idea of getting back together with his twisted ex-girlfriend Gisela. All six episodes dropped Nov. 23.

“I have some ideas for Season 2,” executive producer Megan Amram told TVLine when the show premiered, admitting that “it’s hard to not play the game of planning ahead.” Speaking of games, that giant Olympics logo hanging above Bumper & Co. in the final scene wasn’t a total misdirect. “I do love the idea of Bumper competing on the Olympics team, throwing javelin for Germany or something,” the EP said. “Who knows, anything could happen!” Unfortunately, now we’ll never know if it would have happened.
