If you haven't heard of Colin From Accounts, well, you probably aren't alone. But it's really time we changed that. The Australian relationship comedy was one of the most critically acclaimed series of the past few years. (It's currently sitting at 100% fresh on the Rotten Tomatoes review aggregator.) It has insanely strong word of mouth among those who have seen it. (Just imagine me yelling 'There are dozens of us!' a la Tobias from Arrested Development.) But the streaming marketplace is downright brutal out there, and despite its critical bona fides, Paramount+ hasn't put a ton of its marketing budget behind this little show that could. But at least they have renewed it for a third season. (Thank goodness.)
A sharp, off-kilter romantic comedy, Colin From Accounts follows the story of med-student Ashley and brewery owner Gordon, a couple played by real-life spouses Patrick Brammall (Evil) and Harriet Dyer (American Auto), who have a somewhat dark meet-cute after some flirting leads to an injured dog (the titular Colin). Though there are plenty of reasons that their relationship shouldn't work, ranging from a 10-year difference in age to their difficult families, the pair can't deny the chemistry between them. The series' second season ended on an awkward cliffhanger, leaving an unanswered proposal hanging in the balance. But given that Brammall and Dyer have indicated that Season 3 will begin with a time jump, we may have to wait a bit to find out all the details of exactly what happened.
“We’re very excited to bring you season three of our show,” Brammall and Dyer said in a joint statement. “To be honest, with the way we ended season two it would have been weird not to make a third, so here we are. We promise we won’t leave you hanging like that again. Probably.”
Here's the series' logline.
Colin From Accounts is a romantic comedy about flawed, funny people choosing each other and embracing the all-too-relatable chaos of modern life.
Alongside Brammell and Dyer, the Season 2 cast featured Emma Harvie (RFDS: Royal Flying Doctor Service), Genevieve Hegney (The Commons), Michael Logo (High Country), Helen Thomson (The Last Anniversary), Darren Gilshenan (Bay of Fires), Annie Maynard (Playing for Keeps), Tai Hara (Return to Paradise), and Glenn Hazeldine (Anzac Girls). Other cast members include Celeste Barber (The Letdown), Virginia Gay (Savage River), Justin Rosniak (Wolf Like Me), John Howard (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga), Lynne Porteus (The Twelve), and Broden Kelly (Irreverent).
Season 3 will once again be written by Brammall and Dyer, who also executive produce alongside Alison Hurbert-Burns, Lana Greenhalgh, Trent O’Donnell, Rob Gibson, and Ian Collie. Kevin Greene is the series producer. The series is commissioned by the Foxtel Group and produced by Easy Tiger Productions and CBS Studios.
Colin From Accounts Season 3 does not yet have a premiere date. Seasons 1 and 2 are currently streaming on Paramount+.
