Rowan Atkinson delivers his strongest comedy in years with 'Man vs Baby'

Highlights

  • Atkinson returns as Trevor Bingley in Netflix’s new comedy Man vs Baby, a follow-up to Man vs Bee.
  • The four-part series leans on his trademark physical humour and offers sharper storytelling.
  • Set at Christmas, the show is lighter, warmer, and widely seen as a clear improvement on its predecessor.

Atkinson returns with a sharper sequel

Rowan Atkinson steps back into the role of Trevor Bingley for Netflix’s Man vs Baby, the successor to 2022’s Man vs Bee. The earlier series baffled viewers with its thin premise and awkward CGI, drawing comparisons to Atkinson’s past work without the same comic spark. Reviews at the time were scathing, with some calling it one of the most bewildering projects of his career.

The new series pares things down to four episodes and shows a marked improvement. Trevor is now a divorced father living in a quiet market town and struggling to keep warm as Christmas approaches. He is facing redundancy, overdue bills, and a £9,000 promise to help his daughter study at the Sorbonne.
