If there’s one thing we all love, it’s a good pop-culture face-off: Batman v Superman, Godzilla vs. Kong, Kramer vs. Kramer. Well, here’s a new addition to that throwdown pantheon: Man vs. Bee. The bite-sized series stars Rowan Atkinson — and it’s exactly what it sounds like.

When Atkinson’s harried Trevor gets a job house-sitting for a wealthy family, he thinks he’s got it made — until an unwelcome tenant turns his life into a living hell. There’s a bumblebee buzzing around the mansion, and Trevor quickly bumbles his own way to various scenes of chaos and destruction.
Of course, at the end of the day, Trevor’s real enemy may prove to be himself. The star of Blackadder and Johnny English is one of the most gifted physical comedians of his generation, and he looks to have topped his knack for comic self-harm here. The series promises an entire host of bee-chasing antics, in the vein of slapstick comedies like 1997’s Mouse Hunt or Atkinson’s own Mr. Bean.
You can check out the trailer below, and get ready to welcome Trevor — and the bee — into your own home when Man vs. Bee lands on Netflix on June 24.
