Colin from Accounts season 1 was a huge hit when it arrived on BBC2 and BBC iPlayer in April 2023, and now we have a second season of the hilarious Australian comedy on the way with Colin from Accounts season 2.
The series saw real-life couple Ashley (played by Harriet Dyer, The Invisible Man, No Activity) and Gordon (played by former Home and Away favorite Patrick Brammall) share an on/off romance after they had a road accident involving a dog. The pair then won the hearts of viewers as they navigated life with Colin, their new canine friend.
With season 1 ending on a bit of a cliffhanger as Ashley and Gordon went on a mission to be reunited with Colin, fans will no doubt be keen to see how their bid to get Colin back went, not to mention whether the pair are still a couple or not.
Speaking of the new season, Head of Programme Acquisition Sue Deeks said: “BBC viewers have been completely charmed by this award-winning romantic comedy, and have taken Ashley, Gordon and unlikely cupid Colin to their hearts. We are so delighted that there is going to be another series of the totally engaging Colin From Accounts for us all to enjoy.”
Here is everything you need to know about Colin from Accounts season 2...
Colin from Accounts season 2 release date
The much-anticipated second run starts in Australia on Thursday, May 30, 2024, with no release date in the US or UK yet announced.
If you are in Australia you can watch from May 30 on Binge or Foxtel streaming services.
When it does arrive in the UK it is likely that, like season 1, the second series will air on BBC2 and be available as a box set on BBCiPlayer. The comedy will also return to streaming service Paramount Plus in the US.
We will update this guide when UK and US release dates are announced, however, if you are looking for a show to fill the gap Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer also star in another show on the BBC together. No Activity is a comedy about two detectives on a stakeout and all episodes are available on BBC iPlayer.
Colin from Accounts season 2 cast
Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall will be back as Ashley and Gordon, and as well as starring in the show, the pair also write the comedy and are executive producers, and will do the same for the second season.
As well as starring as Ethan Black in Home and Away, Australian actor Patrick Brammall has also had roles in Glitch, No Activity, Call Your Mother, Offspring and Upper Middle Bogan.
Harriet Dyer previously played Sadie in the series American Auto. She has also been in The InBetween, The Invisible Man, The Other Guy, Love Child, No Activity and Kiki and Kitty.
Although we are still waiting for confirmation on whether the rest of the cast will be returning for the second season, it is thought that Helen Thomson (Elvis, Irreverent) will return as Ashley's overbearing mum, Lynelle, Emma Harvie (Frayed, The Let Down) will come back as Ashley's best friend Megan, while Genevieve Hegney (The Little Death, Devil’s Dust) is thought to be back as Gordon's friend and colleague Chiara, Michael Logo (Love Me, Why Are You Like This) as Brett and potentially Tai Hara (Home & Away, Madam Secretary) as Ashley's ex James.
Colin from Accounts season 2 plot
Everyone who watched season 1 wants to know two things. Did Ashley and Gordon get Colin back? And are they a couple?!
One thing we do know is that the new season begins with Ash and Gordon living together and trying to get their beloved, disabled dog back from his new owners. Hurrah! Alison Hurbert-Burns, content chief at streaming site Binge said in an interview with Deadline earlier this year that there would be "a journey to see how our heroes get reunited".
Brammall and Dyer also said in a statement: “Season 1 went better than expected so here’s hoping we don’t mess this one up. We are thrilled to be back playing Ashley and Gordon running amok in the streets of Sydney. We are just sad we had to leave our actual dog in America. Doesn’t seem to be in the spirit of the show, but here we are.”
