Netflix is ​​doing it again and canceling an unexpected series highlight in 2022 after just one season

As Mr. Bean, Rowan Atkinson has become a comedy legend. Last year he brought his unmistakable sense of humour to Netflix. As a leading actor, he led the series Man vs. Bee, which could hardly have been more aptly titled. Atkinson takes on the role of a man desperately trying to shoo away a cheeky bumblebee.

But the animal just won’t leave him alone. For nine episodes, Atkinson as Trevor Bingley grapples with the bug and dismantles a luxurious apartment into its individual parts. In the end, Man vs. Bee could easily pass as a disaster series, such is the extent of the destruction.

In Man vs. Bee, he thinks a single joke through to its most bitter and absurd consequence.
