Netflix has sent fans into a frenzy with the official release of the first teaser trailer for Man vs Baby, the hotly anticipated follow-up to the 2022 hit comedy Man vs Bee.
From Bee to Baby: A New Chaotic Chapter
The new four-episode series, set to premiere globally on December 11, sees the return of Rowan Atkinson's beloved character, the hapless Trevor Bingley. Fresh from the disastrous events of his previous house-sitting gig, which descended into chaos thanks to a persistent bumblebee, Trevor has landed a seemingly calmer job as a school caretaker.
However, tranquility is short-lived. After the school's nativity play, a child is left uncollected, and Trevor finds himself unexpectedly in charge. Despite his best efforts to hand the infant over to the police, circumstances quickly spiral, leaving him as the unlikely carer.
The plot thickens when Trevor is presented with an irresistible opportunity: to look after a luxurious penthouse apartment over the Christmas period. Now, he faces the ultimate test of juggling childcare with maintaining a high-end property, all while hoping to avoid a repeat of his past calamities.
Fan Adoration for a 'National Treasure'
The trailer reveal has been met with an outpouring of excitement from devoted fans of Atkinson, the comedy legend behind Mr Bean and Blackadder. The comments section flooded with praise, with one viewer declaring it "The sequel we didn't know we needed".
Another fan commented on its perfect festive timing, stating, "This is going to be great to watch with my family at Christmas." The sentiment was echoed by many, with one admirer writing, "Rowan Atkinson is a national treasure and I won't be told otherwise," while another simply vowed, "anything with rowan atkinson i will watch!"
Returning Cast and Creative Team
Man vs Baby has once again been penned by Rowan Atkinson alongside William Davies. The series will also feature the return of Claudie Blakley and Alanah Bloor, reprising their roles from the original show.
The first series, Man vs Bee, was a major success for Netflix, breaking into the platform's global top 10 most-watched programmes upon its release in 2022. It was met with positive critical reviews, with Atkinson's signature physical comedy performance receiving particular acclaim.
All episodes of Man vs Baby arrive on Netflix on December 11, just in time for the holiday season.
