BAFTA-nominated comedy Man Like Mobeen has been commissioned for a fifth series by the BBC, with writers and co-creators Guz Khan (Army of Thieves, The Bubble) and Andy Milligan (Undercover) greenlit to extend the series run to six episodes, which will air on BBC Three and iPlayer.

Guz Khan returns to the series once more as the notorious lead character Mobeen. Viewers were left reeling by the series four finale cliff-hanger, leaving fans to ponder the fate of our haphazard Mobeen.

Guz Khan says: “You lot love Man Like Mobeen don’t you? Like LOVE it. As a man once said to me whilst I was using a urinal at Beaconsfield services, “I love Mobeen more than my wife and kids”. Bit much I think. But as a result, I think you should have some more. This time, much more. 6 episodes coming your way baby. See you soon b*stards.”

Jon Petrie, BBC Director of Comedy, says: “Well we couldn’t exactly end on that cliff-hanger could we?! Guz continues to bring his infectious energy to the scripts and screen, it’s no surprise that Man Like Mobeen is so well loved.”

Tiger Aspect’s Man Like Mobeen New Talent Trainee Scheme will once again be offering paid entry-level production jobs to candidates within the West Midlands, with further details on how to apply to be announced soon.

Man Like Mobeen (6x30) is co-produced by Tiger Aspect, part of Banijay UK, and Dice Roll Productions founded by Gill Isles and Guz Khan, for the BBC. The series was commissioned for BBC Three and BBC iPlayer by Jon Petrie, Director of Comedy Commissioning at the BBC. The Commissioning Editor for the BBC is Navi Lamba. The series will be distributed by Banijay Rights.
