The New ‘Pitch Perfect 3’ Trailer Is Here – And Ben Platt Is Nowhere To Be Found
You might want to ask your mom to sit down because I’ve got some terrible news: the long-awaited “Pitch Perfect 3” trailer dropped on Saturday and it’s missing her top pick to play the role of your next boyfriend.
That’s right – ‘Pitch Perfect 3’ will not feature nice Jewish boy, Benjamin Platt.
Of course, who has time for a cappella when you’re busy starring as the lead in Broadway’s hottest musical and winning the industry’s top award for your work? Platt’s plate is ultra-full at the moment and his surreptitious absence in the franchise’s third film is not surprising.
The film will, however, bring back Hailee Steinfeld, Anna Kendrick, and Rebel Wilson as new college graduates who simply can’t bring themselves to accept a life without a cappella. In the third film, the Bellas enters a talent contest and, once again, the stakes are high – except this time they’ll be competing against groups that use … drumroll, please … instruments.
(Get it?)
Elizabeth Banks will also be back and Ruby Rose of “Orange Is The New Black” fame will be making her ‘Pitch Perfect’ debut as the Bellas’ instrument-laden competition.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a gift today!
