MAN LIKE MOBEEN: FIRST LOOK AND LAUNCH DATE CONFIRMED FOR FIFTH SERIES OF BBC COMEDY

BBC comedy Man Like Mobeen is returning to Small Heath for a fifth and final series.

First-look images have been released taken on the set of the upcoming series featuring Guz Khan (Army of Thieves, The Bubble) as the notorious lead character Mobeen, alongside Tolu Ogunmefun (Don’t Jealous Me) as Nate and Perry Fitzpatrick (Line of Duty, Sherwood) as Harper.

Following series four, one of BBC Three’s most watched comedies last year, viewers were left reeling from the cliffhanger ending and pondering the fate of haphazard Mobeen after he was attacked in prison.

Across the six new episodes, which will air on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer, the series promises an epic finale. Mobeen is back on the outside and reunited with the gang in Small Heath, before embarking on an epic adventure overseas, if Mobeen can get his hands on a plane ticket and a fake passport that is.

Cast also returning include Salman Akhtar (Lootin’) as Saj, Duaa Karim (DI Ray) as Mobeen’s younger sister Aqsa, Mark Silcox (Mandy) as the true OG Uncle Shady, Korkmaz Arslan (My Sweet Pepper Land) as Turkish barber Emre, and Hussina Raja (Informer) as Mobeen’s crush Nida.

Man Like Mobeen returns Thursday 1st May on BBC Three and iPlayer.
