THEN AND NOW: The cast of 'Pitch Perfect' nearly 13 years later
"Pitch Perfect" hit theaters almost 13 years ago, shedding light on collegiate a cappella. Anna Kendrick went on to star in movies like "A Simple Favor" and " Woman of the Hour." Most of the supporting cast, like Rebel Wilson and Brittany Snow, still work in Hollywood. "Pitch Perfect" was first released in September 2012 and has since become a modern classic. The movie — which follows an all-female college a cappella group — not only led to two sequels and a spin-off but also helped solidify several of its stars' careers. Here's a look at how the "Pitch Perfect" cast has evolved since the movie was released. Anna Kendrick starred as Beca, the cool music lover and reluctant a capella member. Before "Pitch Perfect," Kendrick rose to fame through her supporting role in the hit teen phenomenon "Twilight" (2008). From there, she starred alongside George Clooney in "Up in the Air" (2009), which earned her an Oscar nomination. She went on to appear in the "Twilight" sequels, "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" (2010), "50/50" (2011), and "End of Watch" (2012) before "Pitch Perfect." Kendrick has been busy working on shows and films since "Pitch Perfect." Kendrick led the "Pitch Perfect" franchise for two sequels in 2015 and 2017. In between, she appeared in "Into the Woods" (2014) and "Trolls" (2016). After the "Pitch Perfect" trilogy wrapped, she worked on "A Simple Favor" (2018), "Noelle" (2019), and "Stowaway" (2021). She also starred in the first season of HBO Max's "Love Life." Later, Kendrick executive-produced, directed, and starred in "Woman of the Hour" (2023). Most recently, she reprised her role in " Another Simple Favor" (2025). Brittany Snow played Chloe, an optimistic member of the a capella team. Snow worked for over a decade in Hollywood before starring in "Pitch Perfect," appearing on series such as CBS' "Guiding Light," NBC's "American Dreams," and FX's "Nip/Tuck." She then starred in several popular films, like "The Pacifier" (2005), "John Tucker Must Die" (2006), "Hairspray" (2007), and "Prom Night" (2008) before landing a spot in the movie. Snow continues to work in Hollywood today. In addition to the two "Pitch Perfect" sequels, Snow went on to appear in films like "Someone Great" (2019) and "X" (2022). She also worked on TV shows, including Comedy Central's "Workaholics," The CW's "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," and Netflix's "The Night Agent." Rebel Wilson worked steadily on Australian TV before making the jump to American films and TV. Before playing "Fat Amy" in "Pitch Perfect," Wilson starred on a few Australian TV shows like SBS' "Pizza," Network 10's "The Wedge," and SBS' "Bogan Pride." She also worked on films like "Bridesmaids" (2011), "Bachelorette" (2012), and "Ice Age: Continental Drift" (2012). Wilson has continued to star in films since "Pitch Perfect," and she also wrote a memoir. Following her comedic success in "Pitch Perfect," Wilson starred in the short-lived ABC comedy "Super Fun Night." In addition to the "Pitch Perfect" sequels, Wilson also appeared in "Isn't It Romantic" (2019), "The Hustle" (2019), "Jojo Rabbit" (2019), and "Senior Year" (2022), which she also produced. In 2024, she published her first memoir, "Rebel Rising," detailing her journey to Hollywood success. Anna Camp worked steadily in TV and film prior to "Pitch Perfect." Camp has worked on shows and in movies since the films wrapped. Camp went on to play recurring roles on Fox-Hulu's "The Mindy Project," HBO's "True Blood," CBS' "The Good Wife," and Netflix's "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt." She also played identical twins in the fifth season of Netflix's " You." After the "Pitch Perfect" sequels, some of her latest films include "Desperados" (2020), "Jerry and Marge Go Large" (2022), and "Murder at Yellowstone City" (2022). Skylar Astin starred as Jesse, Beca's love interest. Before "Pitch Perfect," Astin appeared on series like HBO's "Girls" and Fox's "House." He also worked on a couple of TV movies. But he was perhaps best known for originating the role of Georg in "Spring Awakening" on Broadway in 2006. Astin has mostly stuck with TV since the "Pitch Perfect" films. Astin appeared on several series after "Pitch Perfect," including AMC's "Halt and Catch Fire," Epix's "Graves," NBC's "Zoe's Extraordinary Playlist," and ABC's " Grey's Anatomy." The actor only returned for the first "Pitch Perfect" sequel in 2015. But like Kendrick, Astin also joined the "Trolls" franchise for the Netflix series, "Trolls: The Beat Goes On." Ben Platt began his film career with "Pitch Perfect." Platt only had one film credit, "Red Riding Hood" (2006), under his belt before "Pitch Perfect." But his stage career was blossoming before then. In 2011, he played Elder Cunningham in "Book of Mormon" on Broadway. Platt has focused more on music and Broadway since the "Pitch Perfect" series. Platt appeared in "Pitch Perfect 2," "Ricki and the Flash" (2015), and "Drunk Parents" (2019). The actor also starred on Netflix's "The Politician." In addition to film and TV, he gained recognition for his original music and role in the hit Broadway show "Dear Evan Hansen," which earned him a Tony. Platt then reprised the role of Evan Hansen in the 2021 film adaptation and also starred, cowrote, and produced 2023's "Theater Camp." Adam DeVine played Bumper, the obnoxious leader of the rival male a capella team. DeVine worked on several comedy projects before joining the ensemble cast. He guest-starred on ABC's "Samantha Who?" and Disney XD's "TRON: Uprising," but he's perhaps best known for his leading role on Comedy Central's "Workaholics," which debuted in 2011. DeVine continues to work on series and films today. DeVine went on to play roles in movies like "Neighbors" (2014), "Pitch Perfect 2," "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates" (2016), "The Lego Batman Movie" (2017), and "Isn't It Romantic." He also continued his role on "Workaholics" and appeared on Cartoon Network's "Uncle Grandpa," ABC's "Modern Family," HBO's "The Righteous Gemstone," and Netflix's "Green Eggs and Ham." In 2022, he starred in a one-season "Pitch Perfect" spin-off called "Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin." He's also done some voice acting for shows and movies, including "Captain Fall" (2023) and the coming "Fixed" (2025). Ester Dean played Bellas member Cynthia Rose. Dean lent her voice to the animated films "Rio" (2011) and "Ice Age: Continental Drift" (2012) before joining the comedy. Before joining the franchise, she was also busy writing and releasing her own music, as well as writing for global superstars like Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Nicki Minaj. Dean went on to star in both sequels and is still working as a musician. In addition to the sequels, Dean appeared on Fox's "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" and in "Trolls 2: World Tour" (2020), alongside Kendrick. She also lent her voice to AppleTV+'s "Central Park." Dean has continued to write and compose music for major artists like Selena Gomez, John Legend, Ciara, and Fifth Harmony. Hana Mae Lee starred as Lilly, the ultra-quiet member of the Bellas. Lee appeared on a few shows, like CBS's "Mike and Molly" and Comedy Central's "Workaholics," before joining the cast of the film. Lee continues to work in Hollywood, mostly on TV. Lee has appeared in more TV movies and series between and after the "Pitch Perfect" films, like Showtime's "Californication," truTV's "Those Who Can't," and Epix's "Perpetual Grace, LTD." More recently, the actor appeared in "Phobias" (2021) and "Habit" (2021). She also voiced a role in the horror film "Abruptio" (2023). Elizabeth Banks had a lengthy résumé before appearing in "Pitch Perfect." Banks was well known for appearing on shows like HBO's "Sex and the City," NBC's "30 Rock," and NBC-ABC's "Scrubs" before "Pitch Perfect." She was also in popular movies including "Wet Hot American Summer" (2001), "Spider-Man" (2002), "Catch Me If You Can" (2002), "Definitely, Maybe" (2008), and "The Hunger Games" (2012). Banks continues to star in and direct movies today. Banks starred in all of the subsequent "Pitch Perfect" and "Hunger Games" movies and went on to films like "The Lego Movie" (2014), "Walk of Shame" (2014), "Magic Mike XXL" (2015), and "Power Rangers" (2017). She also appeared in two "Wet Hot American Summer" spin-off series on Netflix in 2015 and 2017. Up next, she'll star in the psychological thriller "DreamQuil." Behind the camera, Banks directed the third "Pitch Perfect" movie and "Charlie's Angels" (2019). She also produced recent films, including "Bottoms" (2023) and " Cocaine Bear" (2023). John Michael Higgins has been working continuously since the 1980s. With over 140 acting credits to his name, Higgins has been everywhere in TV and film. Prior to "Pitch Perfect," he worked on several shows, including NBC's "Seinfeld," Fox's "Ally McBeal," and Cartoon Network's "Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law." He also starred in movies like "Blade: Trinity" (2004), "The Break-Up" (2006), "Fired Up" (2009), and "We Bought a Zoo" (2011). Higgins continues to lend his talent to series and movies today. Higgins went on to series like TV Land's "Happily Divorced," NBC's "Great News," and Peacock's "Saved by the Bell" reboot. He also hosted GSN's "America Says" from 2018 to 2022. In addition to both "Pitch Perfect" sequels, he appeared in movies like "A Million Ways to Die in the West," "Licorice Pizza" (2021), and "Prom Dates" (2024).

Steinfeld is known for a variety of movie roles, including in the "Pitch Perfect" franchise and the voice of Gwen Stacy in the "Spider-Man" films. She starred in the 2025 release "Sinners." Reuters

Hailee Steinfeld marries Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen
Actress Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen have tied the knot. Steinfeld and the Buffalo Bills quarterback wed in a ceremony in California on Saturday, according to People magazine, who published photos from the event. CNN has reached out to a representative for Steinfeld for comment. The 'Sinners' star and Allen have been romantically linked since 2023 and debuted their relationship the following year, when Allen posted a photo with Steinfeld overlooking the Eiffel Tower in Paris. In 2024, the pair announced their engagement on their Instagram pages, sharing a photo of Allen bent on one knee during what looked like an elaborate proposal, complete with dozens of candles and a pink floral display. Earlier this year, Steinfeld said in an interview with Who What Wear that Allen made sure she was dressed up for the day and still caught her completely by surprise. 'I'm so grateful that he did it the way he did so that I looked good, and we have these photos that we'll have and cherish for the rest of our lives that I'm not looking at being like, 'What was I wearing?'' she said. 'We were in Malibu, which is my happy place, and it was magical. That's the word.' Steinfeld broke out after starring in 2010's 'True Grit' at age 13. She earned an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress for the role, becoming one of the youngest actors to ever to do so in that category. She's also known for 'Pitch Perfect 3,' the AppleTV+ series 'Dickinson,' and her career as a musician. She recently starred in Ryan Coogler-directed horror-thriller 'Sinners.' The couple is known for being private, something Steinfeld said they are intentional about. 'When you realize that so much is already out there in every other aspect of your life, you really learn to cherish the little that isn't,' she added in the interview. 'It just makes things extra special, and it's just for you.'
