‘Pitch Perfect 3’: The Bellas Are Heading Back

Mark your calendars, pitches! “Pitch Perfect 3” has an official release date.

The third film in the wildly popular a capella franchise will hit theaters on July 21, 2017, Universal Pictures confirmed to Access Hollywood on Monday. Star Anna Kendrick commemorated the news via Instagram, effectively shutting down speculation about her character’s post-college future.

According to Variety, Rebel Wilson’s breakout favorite Fat Amy is also set to appear in the follow-up, along with returning producers Paul Brooks, Max Handleman and Elizabeth Banks. Elizabeth also directed May’s runaway hit sequel “Pitch Perfect 2” in addition to producing and co-starring in both “Pitch Perfect” movies.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, talks of a trilogy capper ignited last week when Universal entered negotiations with screenwriter Kay Cannon, who penned the first two films. It’s unclear how “Pitch Perfect 3” will manage to wrangle current and former Bellas back into harmony, but with “Pitch Perfect 2” having already grossed more than $260 million worldwide it’s likely fans are already singing the tune of another installment.
