Paramount+ has set the US premiere date for the highly-anticipated second season of the awesome Australian romantic comedy series Colin from Accounts.
Created, written, and executive produced by, as well as starring, the husband-and-wife team of Patrick Brammall (Evil, No Activity, Glitch) and Harriet Dyer (Wakefield, No Activity, Janet King), Colin from Accounts has won numerous awards, garnered critical acclaim, and won over viewers across the globe for good reason: It’s brilliant.
The show is a feel-good romantic comedy that leans more into the comedy than the romance aspects, so folks who don’t typically do romcoms might appreciate this one. As someone who’s squarely in the middle when it comes to romcoms, neither a huge fan nor a detractor, I thought the first season of Colin from Accounts was great; I gave up four hours of sleep on a flight to Dublin, Ireland, last fall, to binge all eight episodes.
The series follows the relationship of microbrewery owner Gordon (Brammall) and doctor-in-training Ashley (Dyer), who meet after she flashes him a boob, which causes him to have an accident that injures a dog. Vet bills are just as high in Australia as in the US, so Gordon and Ashley take on caring for the dog, whom they name Colin. (The “from Accounts” part is from the backstory they give him.)
The second season of the hit series finds Ashley and Gordon living together and trying to get Colin back from his new owners. This is the first in a series of hurdles for the couple as they find out more about each other, for better and for worse.
Colin from Accounts: Season 2 premieres in the US as an eight-episode binge on Thursday, September 26, exclusively on Paramount+.
Returning cast members include Emma Harvie (RFDS, Frayed), Genevieve Hegney (The Heart Guy, Janet King), Michael Logo (In Limbo, Love Me), Helen Thomson (Irreverent, Top of the Lake), Darren Gilshenan (Harrow, No Activity), Annie Maynard (Playing for Keeps, Dead Lucky), Tai Hara (Preacher, Home and Away), and Glenn Hazeldine (The Twelve, A Place to Call Home).
Joining the cast in Season 2 are Celeste Barber (Wellmania, The Letdown), Virginia Gay (Savage River, Safe Home), Justin Rosniak (The Surfer, Mr Inbetween), John Howard (SeaChange, The Merger), Lynne Porteus (Home and Away, The Commons), and Broden Kelly (Aunty Donna, Irreverent).
A production of Easy Tiger Productions and CBS Studios, Colin from Accounts is commissioned by the Foxtel Group. Season 2, executive produced by Rob Gibson, Ian Collie, Patrick Brammall, Harriet Dyer, Trent O’Donnell, Alison Hurbert-Burns and Lana Greenhalgh, and produced by Kevin Greene, is financed with the assistance of Screen NSW, through the Made in NSW Fund.
Season 1 won three Australian Logie Awards (Outstanding Comedy Program, Outstanding Actor, and Outstanding Actress); two Gotham TV Awards (Breakthrough Comedy Series and Outstanding Performance in a Comedy Series); Australia’s Screen Producers Awards for Comedy Program or Series Production of the Year, the Best Comedy, and Equity Ensemble Award for Best Comedy; the 2024 AACTA Award for Best Narrative Comedy Series; and nominations for the 2023 Rose d’Or for Comedy Drama and Sitcom, the C21 International Drama Awards for Comedy-Drama Series, and numerous 2024 AACTA Awards.
