Rowan Atkinson, the 70-year-old Mr. Bean icon, is making a big TV comeback in Netflix’s four-part comedy series Man Vs Baby, dropping on December 11, 2025. He stars as school caretaker Trevor Bingley, who takes on a dream gig house-sitting a swanky London penthouse but ends up stuck with the baby Jesus from his school’s nativity play when the parents don’t show.
This slapstick follow-up comes three years after Man Vs Bee, where Atkinson unleashed chaos in a posh mansion battling a pesky insect. Created and written by Atkinson and Will Davies, it’s directed by David Kerr and produced by HouseSitter Productions.
Bumbling dad Trevor tries to get the best of a cunning bee while house-sitting a posh mansion — but only unleashes more chaos in this comedy series.
Fans are buzzing with excitement; one Reddit user raved, ‘Man Vs Bee showed he’s still got it. Had me in stitches for 2 hrs straight.’
Atkinson’s timeless humor reminds us that comedy knows no age – perfect for holiday laughs with family. Will Trevor survive the baby battle?
