Executive producer Elizabeth Banks was inspired to center the series around the antagonist Bumper after seeing the Marvel series Loki (2021). "They took a villain from Marvel and they gave him a television show, a whole backstory. We thought, can we do that with Adam Devine's character, Bumper? He's kind of a lovable villain."
Bumper and Pieter are the only recurring characters from Pitch Perfect; all the others are original to the series.
The second time that Sarah Hyland and Adam Devine have played love interests, after working together on Modern Familiy (2009).
Released 10 years after Pitch Perfect (2012).
Following the release of the trailer, fans expressed their excitement seeing Adam Devine and Sarah Hyland together again, after their characters on Modern Family (2009) did not stay together.
