Rowan Atkinson Brings Holiday Chaos in First Look at Netflix Comedy ‘Man vs. Baby’
Rowan Atkinson is set to return in a brand-new Netflix comedy series called Man vs. Baby, the follow-up to the 2022 show Man vs. Bee. The first trailer for the series has just been released, giving fans an early look at the chaotic holiday fun to come.
The show is created and written by Rowan Atkinson and William Davies and is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on December 11. Atkinson reprises his role as Trevor Bingley, and the series will consist of four episodes, each around 30 minutes long. David Kerr, who worked on the previous series, returns as director.
It’s beginning to look a lot like…chaos!

In this new story, Trevor is trying to live a quieter life as a school caretaker after his last disastrous adventure. But a tempting Christmas gig in a fancy penthouse brings him back into chaos. As Netflix describes it, “when no one collects the Baby Jesus from the school nativity, Trevor finds himself with an unexpected companion over the holidays.”
Production began in December 2024 with HouseSitter Productions behind the project. Chris Clark and William Davies are serving as executive producers, while Kate Fasulo is the series producer. Netflix officially announced the series on December 16, 2024, confirming the reunion of Atkinson, Davies, and Kerr.
The recently released trailer shows Atkinson in full comedic mode, mixing his classic physical comedy with the festive setting of the series. Fans of Man vs. Bee will recognize the same slapstick chaos, now with a holiday twist.
Man vs. Baby promises to bring laughs and holiday misadventures in equal measure, combining Atkinson’s well-known comedic style with a festive storyline.
