A NEW comedy starring Rowan Atkinson is coming to Netflix – a year after another show was axed.
The show, called Man vs Baby, is a follow up to the actor’s 2022 series Man vs Bee and will see the 69-year-old reprising his role as lead Trevor Bingley.
Man vs Bee follows Trevor’s disastrous experience housesitting a luxurious mansion filled with expensive artwork and classic cars.
As a new employee at House Sitters Deluxe, it’s Trevor’s first big job but it is hampered by a rogue bee that he can not catch.
He not only injures himself while trying to overcome the bee, he causes destruction to the million-pound home he’s been paid to look after.
The nine-part comedy series saw Rowan return to the small screen in a role similar to that of his global hit Mr. Bean.
Now, his latest role in Man vs Baby, will see Trevor looking after a luxurious London penthouse, but this time he is faced with an unlikely foe – a baby.
The new series consists of four 30-minute episodes and has been created and written by Will Davies & Rowan.
Hilarious first images from the show sees Rowan’s face photoshopped onto a series of scenes from other Netflix shows.
The first image sees him sitting with Michelle Keegan in a scene from thriller Fool Me Once, while the second sees him in One Day with actress Eleanor Tomlinson.
Another bizarre image shows him taking the place of Gillian Anderson‘s Jean Milburn in a scene from Sex Education season 4.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Rowan could potentially be returning to the big screen for the first time in six years as Johnny English.
The film is a spoof of James Bond, with Rowan playing an English spy.
He was last seen in the role in the 2018 Johnny English film alongside Ben Miller and Emma Thompson.
The comedian previously said that a fourth film was unlikely to happen but during a recent Reddit AMA, he admitted: “Never say never.”
No casting or release date has been announced yet but the series is currently in production.
