Fans of the Pitch Perfect series have a reason to rejoice—there may be another chapter in the Barden Bellas’ story. Rebel Wilson, the beloved actress known for her role as Patricia “Fat Amy” Hobart in the musical comedy franchise, has hinted that a fourth installment is in the works.
In a recent interview with BBC Radio 2, the 44-year-old actress revealed that discussions about the next film are underway. “Hopefully, there’s a fourth one in the works,” Rebel shared. “There is one being developed. I know we’re older now, so I don’t know exactly what the storyline’s going to be.”
While confirming the potential for another movie, Rebel acknowledged the challenges that come with creating a sequel. “I guess they’ve got to get the script right first, which is the age-old dilemma,” she explained, underscoring the importance of crafting a compelling story for the much-anticipated sequel.
A Look Back at the Joy of Pitch Perfect
Reflecting on her time filming the series, Rebel expressed nothing but fond memories. Having starred in all three Pitch Perfect films from 2012 to 2017, alongside Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow, and Anna Camp, she emphasized the strong bonds formed among the cast members.
“I absolutely loved making those movies,” she said. “We’re all still friends, all of us girls. They’re just so joyful.” Rebel attributed much of the franchise’s on-screen magic to the genuine camaraderie among the cast. “I think what people see on the screen is just us having a laugh. It wasn’t really acting, because I love singing and dancing, and I just loved hanging out with that cast so, so, so much. It was really fun.”
What Could Be Next for the Barden Bellas?
As the franchise enters discussions for its fourth film, fans are speculating about where the story might go. The previous movies followed the journeys of the all-female a cappella group as they tackled competitions, personal growth, and comedic misadventures. With the characters now older, the new film could explore fresh themes while retaining the humor and heart that have made the series a global hit.
Although details about the plot or release date remain scarce, Rebel’s update is enough to excite loyal fans who have been waiting since Pitch Perfect 3 premiered in 2017. For now, the Barden Bellas’ return remains a work in progress, but the hope of seeing them on the big screen once again is music to the ears of audiences worldwide.
The next step? As Rebel noted, perfecting the script. Until then, fans can look forward to seeing what aca-awesome surprises the team behind Pitch Perfect will deliver next.
