The Mr Bean-like Man Vs Bee Rowan Atkinson is to make a series of physical comedy shorts for Netflix entitled Man Vs Bee. The ten-minute shorts will feature a character who battles an annoying bee, and is likely to be in the vein of the hugely successful Mr Bean series. Calling the ten new episodes ‘a riotous comedy’, the Netflix blurb says: ‘A man finds himself at war with a bee while house-sitting a luxurious mansion. Who will win, and what irreparable damage will be done in the process?’ Atkinson is writing the series with Will Davies, who has previously worked on Atkinson’s Johnny English film franchise as well as writing How To Train Your Dragon and Stop! Or My Mum will shoot.
