2025 marks 35 years since Mr Bean first hit screens. It has been broadcast in 195 territories, with the series in continual distribution for 35 years. Co-created by Rowan Atkinson and Richard Curtis, the eponymous hero was played by Rowan Atkinson, who now voices the globally successful animated series, which launched in 2002. Mr Bean: The Animated Series (produced by Tiger Aspect Kids & Family), will return for a fourth season later this year.

“2025 is a milestone year for Mr Bean,” commented Roubina Tchoboian, head of global licensing at Banijay Kids & Family. “We are celebrating 35 years of the brand and welcoming a new season of the animated series.
