Here’s what Susan Rovner. chairman of entertainment content for NBCUniversal Television had to say about the show:

“Our upcoming 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 ‘Pitch Perfect’ 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.”

The series will be written by Megan Amram who will also executive produce the show along with Elizabeth Banks. Banks had a minor role in all three films as well as producing and even directing the second installment.
