Brownstone and Gold Circle produced all three films in the <em>Pitch Perfect<\/em> franchise and Banks directed <em>Pitch Perfect 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Susan Rovner, chairman of entertainment content at NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, said: \u201cOur upcoming <em>Pitch Perfect<\/em> series is another example of the unmatched synergy NBCUniversal is able to expand upon with our wide-ranging library of IP. When we saw the opportunity to create a series for <em>Pitch Perfect<\/em> with Elizabeth Banks, Max Handelman and Paul Brooks, plus more earworm classics for super fans to enjoy, we jumped at it. And to top it off, we are so fortunate that Adam Devine is headlining the series and bringing fans the quirky, laugh-out-loud sensibility they loved in the film franchise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Erin Underhill, president of Universal Television, said: \u201cWe\u2019re so happy to have the opportunity to bring the beloved Universal Pictures franchise <em>Pitch Perfect<\/em> to the small screen and to explore the hilarious and distinct characters in this (musical-filled) world. We\u2019re lucky to partner with the talented Elizabeth Banks, Max Handelman and Paul Brooks, who produced the iconic films; the exceptionally funny and memorable Adam Devin; and Megan Amram, whose clever adaptation of Pitch Perfect is sure to have audiences laughing out loud and tapping their feet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This project is part of an exclusive television deal at Warner Bros.
