Just days after the cast reunited on the MTV Movie Awards to perform a new musical mash-up, Universal Pictures have announced a sequel to the hit musical, Pitch Perfect!
The news was announced at CinemaCon by Adam Fogelson, the head of Universal Pictures. Pitch Perfect 2 will hit theaters sometime in 2015 with writer Kay Cannon returning for the project. It is not yet confirmed whether stars Anna Kendrick or Rebel Wilson will return.
However, back in December, cast member Skylar Astin told MovieWeb that he was in discussions with Universal regarding a potential follow-up at the time.

"I do have a meeting with a Universal representative next week," he said at the time. "And I know that Rebel Wilson had hers last weekend. It's definitely a talking point."
It'd be pretty shocking not to have Anna or Rebel return for the follow up. But what would Skylar like to see in the new movie?
"I think that I am willing to do anything. I like to collaborate. If my voice will be heard, than I will do some research and think about it," he said. "There are definitely times where I am listening to the radio, and I think, 'That would be awesome. I would love to sing that.' It's this weird karaoke fantasy that I might someday get to live out on the big screen."
"Then again, I know there are so many politics in that decision-making. Also relevance. If we film this next year, and it doesn't come out for another year and a half, will that song still be popular? Will it be over played? I think they did such a perfect job."
Universal also announced 2015 release dates for a sequel to "Snow White and the Huntsman" as well as a seventh edition to the "Fast and the Furious" franchise.
Are you excited for Pitch Perfect 2?
