Not only is Pitch Perfect getting a sequel, but it's set to be directed by actress Elizabeth Banks, who will be making her directorial debut!

As she did with the original, Banks will co-star and produce the musical comedy in conjunction with Universal.

"Elizabeth originated the idea for Pitch Perfect and was instrumental in making the first film such a huge success," said Universal Pictures chairman Donna Langley in a statement. "She brings an enormous amount of energy and experience to everything she works on and we’re thrilled that she is making her feature directorial debut on Pitch Perfect 2."

Also returning to work on the sequel is Pitch Perfect screenwriter Kay Cannon, who adapted the film from a book by Mickey Rapkin.

Rumor has it that Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson are also likely to return.

We're assuming how excited you are about this news is dependent on how many times you played "Cups" on a loop.
