Creator and star Guz previously revealed he had only written the series for fans and that he would not be making another.

He explained: ‘I can’t even shop at Aldi without someone popping out from behind the bread aisle and asking me when there’s going to be more Man Like Mobeen.’

‘So, for you, and only for you, here’s one, final, very last, never to be done again season of Man Like Mobeen.

‘Please don’t make me make any more, I got loads of kids to raise and that.’

For the final season, filming has started last year in Coventry and Turkey.

Across the six new episodes, which will air on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer in 2025, the series promises a finale which quenches the thirst of what follows Mobeen’s attack. 

The fifth season will see Mobeen out of prison and reunited with the gang.
