In Man vs Bee, the Mr Bean star was Trevor Bingley, a down-on-his-luck man who finds himself entrenched in a battle with an insect while house sitting a rich couple’s modern mansion. Man vs Bee also starred Jing Lusi, Claudie Blakley, Tom Basden, Julian Rhind-Tutt and Greg McHugh.

The new series, which has started production, will see Atkinson return as Bingley alongside “another unlikely companion,” according to Netflix, as he looks after a luxurious London penthouse.

The four-parter is once again created by Atkinson and Will Davies. Davies also EPs with Chris Clark. HouseSitter Productions is producing again and David Kerr is director.

Netflix accompanied the anno with some comical first looks of Atkinson superimposed onto some of its big hits, which can be viewed below.
