Discovery channels (Southeast Asia, South Asia), and ITVX Kids (U.K., Ireland) from 2025, marking the 35th anniversary of the first live-action episode.
Zia Sands, lead content acquisitions, partnerships, and co-productions, Kids, EMEA, Warner Bros. Discovery, said: “Mr. Bean’s comedy antics continue to resonate universally, and we are excited to bring our audiences more of what they love.”
‘Mr. Bean: The Animated Series’ is based on Rowan Atkinson’s original live-action Mr. Bean comedy series, co-created with Richard Curtis in 1990. Atkinson voices the animated version that premiered in 2002. The animated show has global reach, being broadcast in 195 territories and maintaining continuous distribution for over 30 years. It has a substantial online presence, with 140 million followers on Meta, 72 million YouTube subscribers, 19 billion lifetime views, 10 million Instagram followers, and 14.2 million likes on TikTok.
In a statement, Atkinson said, “I have always enjoyed this iteration of the Mr. Bean character and the particular freedoms he has in animated form. We can take him into space or down a tin mine without me personally having to suffer the consequences. The animation process creatively is always fascinating, and I’m looking forward to getting stuck into the new series very much.”
Cathy Payne, CEO of Banijay Rights, said, “One of the most loved characters in television comedy history, Mr. Bean’s amusing escapades are cherished by children and families across the world. So we’re thrilled to continue our long-standing partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery and ITV on this wonderful animated series that captures Bean’s world so brilliantly.”
