A comedy starring Rowan Atkinson is among seven new Netflix series which will be produced in the UK.
Mr Bean star Atkinson will star in Man Vs Bee, which he co-created for the streaming giant.
The comedy tells the story of a man who finds himself at war with a bee while housesitting in a mansion.
The seven new series have been commissioned by Netflix’s original series team based in London.
Anne Mensah, vice president of UK original series at Netflix, said: “Setting up a team entirely based in the UK was always about being able to better connect to the fantastic programme makers we have here – to provide a space for writers, producers and actors that feels local, friendly and familiar but also provides talent the opportunity to make shows that will impact on a global scale.
“UK-made stories really do speak to the world. I couldn’t be more excited by the mix of people who are now producing for Netflix.”
She added: “It’s the people – the talent both in front of and behind the screen – that makes us the second biggest producing territory for Netflix outside the US.
“This was always about building a base and setting up the business in the UK for the long-term and there is so much more to come.”
