Rowan Atkinson will make his comedic come back to the realm of physical comedy in the upcoming Netflix series Man Vs. Bee, which follows the battle of one man against an annoying insect.
Because of the popularity of the farcical character Mr. Bean around the globe, the face of Rowan Atkinson is recognizable to millions of viewers in every region of the world. Netflix will be hoping that the actor will be able to break through with audiences all over the world.
Will Davies, with whom Rowan Atkinson previously worked on the Johnny English film franchise, contributed to the creation of the series, which was developed by Atkinson in collaboration with Davies. The following is everything that we know about the show, which is guaranteed to have the audience on the edge of their seats.
Man Vs Bee Plot
In a release, Netflix provided an overview of the idea of the new series, which is as follows: “This outrageous comedy features Rowan Atkinson, who is known for his work as an actor and comedian, in a role that is new to him.
A man who is housesitting for a wealthy family gets into a fight with a bee that lives in the home. Who will come out on top, and how much irreversible harm will be caused as a result of this conflict?”
Following the establishment of a product development team in the United Kingdom by the online streaming behemoth Netflix, this program is one of several that are now being produced there.
Vice President, Original Series in Charge of Operations Anne Mensah was quoted as saying, “Setting up a team entirely based in the UK was always about being able to better connect to the fantastic program makers we have here — to provide a space for writers, producers, directors, and actors that feels local, friendly, and familiar while also providing talent the opportunity to make shows that will impact on a global scale.”
