In 2022 Rowan made his TV comeback starring in Man Vs Bee as bumbling housesitting dad Trevor whose rivalry with an insect caused chaos.
Family man Trevor was a new employee at House Sitters Deluxe and his first big job was a luxurious mansion filled with priceless artwork, classic cars, and an adorable dog, Cupcake.
But Trevor is left out of his depth after an unwanted guest irritates him and as he struggles to triumph over the bee, he not only injures himself but causes destruction to the million-pound home he's been paid to look after.
The nine-part series saw Rowan return to the small screen in an almost silent comedy reminiscent of his global hit Mr. Bean.
The Blackadder actor created the show alongside screenwriter and producer, Will Davies, who he last worked with on 2011 film Johnny English Reborn.

The series is a comedy spoof of James Bond and Rowan plays the eponymous, Mr. Bean-like English spy.
The star has previously said that a fourth film was unlikely to happen.
During a Reddit Ask Me Anything session, Rowan admitted: 'I doubt it but thank you very much for implying you'd like to see another one.'
However, Rowan, who appeared in the 2023 film Wonka, then added: 'But at the same time... never say never.'
