The Bellas are back once again for a third and final installment of everyone's favorite aca-franchise. Pitch Perfect 3 follows the a capella group we first met on screen in the 2012 original, based on a nonfiction book by Mickey Rapkin. Now, following the events of 2015's Pitch Perfect 2, the ladies are college graduates and attempting to make it in the world with more than just their talent for singing sans instrumentation.
All of the Bellas have returned for the second sequel of the series, which has already grossed more than $400 million worldwide and maintained primarily positive reviews (the original's Rotten Tomatoes score: 80%; the first sequel's score: 66%). Our favorite a capella commentators are also back, as you can see in the new trailer below. But this is just a tease of the latest shenanigans of and tunes performed by the Barden U. alumns. For more, you'll have to wait until this Christmas.
