The British comedy series Man vs. Bee amassed all the Mr. Bean fans as this was yet another chance to witness his hilarious antics. Actor Rowan Atkinson has been a force of comedy since the early 2000s. Throughout his breathtaking career, he has offered us so many memorable works, hence there is no doubt that people considered this show as another addition to the list of his dynamic body of work. Here is everything we know about his new show that was well received by subscribers that helped it attain a position on the streamer’s Top 10 charts.
Is Man Vs. Bee Season 2 Happening?
Renewal Status: Officially Canceled
The Sun reported that “Man vs. Bee” has been canceled after just one season. The reasons behind the show’s discontinuation remain unspecified, but it is commonly attributed to its performance on Netflix.
The show’s brief format and Netflix’s recent trend of discontinuing comedy series make the cancellation unsurprising. However, there is still potential for continuation, as the series was never designated as a limited or mini-series in any official communications or on the Netflix platform itself, despite reaching a satisfying conclusion.
“Man vs. Bee” was a notable presence in Netflix’s global top 10 charts for two weeks, amassing a total of 43.61 million viewing hours, which is impressive given its shorter duration. The viewership details are as follows:
– From June 19th to June 26th, 2022: 18,210,000 hours viewed, ranked 10th, first week in top 10.
– From June 26th to July 3rd, 2022: 25,400,000 hours viewed (a 39% increase), ranked 7th, second week in top 10.
The initial trailer for the show also achieved remarkable success on YouTube, with 15 million views at the time of reporting. This achievement places it among Netflix’s most successful trailers, which is often correlated with high viewership on the platform. This performance surpasses that of trailers for “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,” “Elite,” “Enola Holmes,” and “Our Planet.”
What’s The Plot Of Man Vs. Bee?
In the first season, we saw that a doting father named Trevor comes to a couple’s leaving home to live while they are not home. Here is the official synopsis
A house sitter named Trevor finds himself entrenched in an ongoing battle with a bee while in the midst of lodging an elegant mansion.
The issue is that despite his best efforts of getting rid of a bee, the bee shows up on the scene and refuses to leave at any cost. If you are a Breaking Bad fan this whole bee angle to the premise should ring a bell. Trevor takes desperate measures to get rid of the undesirable inhabitant, while he is frustrated we sure can’t deny that his trouble was a source of muse for us.
