Remember Man vs. Bee? The series, which came out in 2022, stared Rowan Atkinson as a well-meaning but unlucky man who lands a job house-sitting a luxurious mansion. The cushy gig becomes anything but when he discovers that a clever bee has made itself at home.
This year, the show got a follow-up. In Man vs. Baby, the stakes are higher, as the same protagonist has to level up and deal with a lost baby. Just in time for the holidays! With over 19 million views this week, the comedy is currently the most-watched show on Netflix. Should we expect a sequel?
Man vs. Baby Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, there’s no word on whether the series will return with more episodes. Plus, it feels more like a holiday one-off than a multi-season saga.
Even if the series continues, there’s a good chance it won’t be called Man vs. Baby season 2. Maybe Man vs. Gorilla? That would be exciting. As long as Atkinson is up for it, some sort of sequel might be coming our way in two or three years.

What Is Man Vs. Baby About?
In Man vs. Baby, Rowan Atkinson returns as Trevor, reprising his role from Man vs Bee in a holiday-themed story.
Turns out, Trevor has taken a quieter job as a school caretaker. But when a baby is mistakenly left behind after a school nativity play, he finds himself unexpectedly responsible for childcare. At the same time, he’s offered a lucrative Christmas house-sitting job in a luxurious London penthouse.
As you can imagine, juggling the responsibilities of a baby and the demands of a high-end household leads to laugh-out-loud mishaps. Expect plenty of festive chaos, as well as a few heartfelt moments that perfectly fit the season.
While Man vs. Baby season 2 likely isn’t in the cards, we would love to see Trevor again. Atkinson is wonderful in the role, and the series is a crowd-pleaser. Who knows what kind of trouble he’ll get into next?
