Mr. Bean: The Animated Series, a comedy from Tiger Aspect Kids & Family (a Banijay Kids & Family company), has been commissioned for a fourth season.

The 52×11-minute season has been ordered in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery and ITVX. The animation follows the antics of Mr. Bean and Teddy through a series of adventures and plenty of mischief.

Season four will air on Cartoonito and HBO Max across EMEA, on Warner Bros. Discovery’s kids channels and streaming services across Southeast Asia and South Asia and on ITVX Kids in the U.K. and Ireland from 2025.

Rowan 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.”

Tom Beattie, managing director of Tiger Aspect Kids & Family and series producer, added: “It’s a real pleasure to have the opportunity to go back to such a special series. Mr. Bean is an iconic comedy legend and it’s an honor to work with Rowan to create this physically funny series.”

Cathy Payne, CEO of Banijay Rights, commented: “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 which captures Bean’s world so brilliantly.”

“We’re thrilled to continue our longstanding partnership with Mr. Bean, making Cartoonito its home across EMEA alongside our kids channels and streaming services in South and Southeast Asia,” said Zia Sands, Lead Content Acquisitions, Partnerships & Co-productions, KIDS, EMEA, Warner Bros Discovery. “Mr Bean’s comedy antics continue to resonate universally, and we are excited to bring our audiences more of what they love.”

Darren Nartey, senior acquisitions manager for film and kids at ITVX, noted: “We are so looking forward to welcoming back a British icon to ITVX Kids in 2025 and can’t wait to share more of Mr. Bean’s unique sense of humor with the young and the young-at-heart.”
