Good news, Pitch Perfect fans! The Barden Bellas are back together and, even better, it's to support a great cause.
Elizabeth Banks, who played commentator Gail Abernathy-McKadden in the film, recently shared a video of the main cast to her Instagram account. They all hopped online from their homes to support UNICEF'S COVID relief efforts by singing an a cappella version of Beyoncé's "Love on Top," leading to tons of fire emoji comments and countless fans begging for Pitch Perfect 4.
Banks wrote, "Buckle up kids, the Bellas are back… for a good cause! Families around the globe are suffering from the impact of the #COVID19 pandemic, especially those in Lebanon who are facing crisis after crisis. But we can all pitch in and help. Money raised from the downloads of our rendition of 'Love on Top' will go directly to @UNICEF to help children in Lebanon and around the world who need our support right now. Head to the link in my bio to download the song and donate now. #Beirut #COVID19 #ForEveryChild."
In the video clip, Banks is joined by none other than John Michael Higgins, who played the sassy commentator, John Smith, in the movie. Both reprise their roles as they introduce the Barden Bellas, explaining that they've reunited to help raise funds for UNICEF. We then see nine of the Bellas appear and start to harmonize, including Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, Hailee Steinfeld, Anna Camp, Alexis Knapp and Hana Mae Lee (whose beatboxing skills are still on point, we might add).
Towards the end of the song, Kendrick holds up a series of signs that read, “As the key gets higher and Kelley takes over the top notes, I just want to say I miss you guys so much!” And after Wilson forms a heart with her hands, a short note pops up to inform viewers that all proceeds from the song will go to the charity organization, UNICEF.
Passionate fans are still wondering if this could be a sign that a fourth Pitch Perfect is secretly in the works, but such news has yet to be confirmed. For now, though, we'll settle for keeping this awesome Beyoncé cover on repeat.
