Netflix has released the official trailer for its newest comedy series titled Man vs. Bee, featuring Mr. Bean star Rowan Atkinson as he portrays a man, whose housesitting job goes terribly wrong all because of a hard-to-catch bee. The series is set to start streaming on June 24.
Man vs. Bee is created by Rowan Atkinson and Will Davies from a screenplay written by Davies. Joining Atkinson are Jing Lusi, Claudie Blakley, Tom Basden, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Greg McHugh, and India Fowler.
“Bumbling dad Trevor who finds himself entrenched in an ongoing battle with a bee while in the midst of housesitting at an elegant mansion,” reads the synopsis. “Who will win, and what irreparable damage will be done in the process?”
Man vs. Bee is executive produced by Davies and Chris Clark, with David Kerr serving as the director. The series will feature nine episodes which are expected to run between 10 and 20 minutes long.
Atkinson is best known for his iconic role as Mr. Bean, a character he portrayed in the popular British sitcom of the same name, which only ran for 15 episodes. However, it was revived as an animated series in 2002, where Atkinson returned to voice and executive produce the five-season animated sitcom.
