Rowan Atkinson Returns in Netflix’s Man vs Baby, Now Streaming as a Four-Part Christmas Sequel

Atkinson frames the gentler character as a rare departure with future episodes contingent on viewers.

Overview

  • The series premiered globally on Netflix on December 11 as a four-part holiday comedy continuing 2022’s Man vs Bee.
  • Atkinson called Trevor Bingley one of the nicest characters he has played, contrasting him with Mr Bean and Blackadder.
  • In a Q&A he apologized after saying he could not recall enjoying any specific filming moments and said he still notices "holes" in the show.
  • He explained the production relied on twin "hero" babies, separate crawling doubles, and CGI face replacement under strict 45‑minute on‑set limits per infant.
  • Atkinson said there are no current plans for additional episodes and noted he measures success by audience viewing rather than reviews.
