Australian streamer Binge orders new episode of hit romcom

 

Hit Australian romcom Colin from Accounts is returning for a second series.

 

Starring and created by real-life husband and wife Patrick Brammall and Harriet ​Dyer, the first series was a sleeper hit on iPlayer in the UK.

 

Now streaming service Binge, which commissioned the show down under, has confirmed a second season.

 

The news comes after the comedy swept the board at the biggest awards in Australian television, the Logies, where it was named best comedy and its stars scooping actor awards.

 

Series one charted the age-gap romance that developed after Dyer’s character Ashley flashes at Brammall’s Gordon in the street, causing him to run over a Border Terrier. They reluctantly team up to get the injured dog, who they name Colin From Accounts, to the vet.

 

In a statement, Brammall and Dyer said: ‘We’re thrilled that Binge is finally giving in and letting us do another one. Turns out the Border Terrier community is extremely powerful.

 

‘Thank you to everybody around the world who has enjoyed the show, we can’t wait to bring you all a second season. Stay tuned for more shenanigans.’

 

Series one ended with the couple getting back together after a breakup, during which they gave Colin to an unsuitable breeder… which they now regret and set off to get him back.

 

Alison Hurbert-Burns, commissioner for Binge, said: ‘We left season one unsure if Ashley and Gordon could get Colin back, so of course we need to see what’s next for these lovable characters that audiences in Australia, and the world have fallen in love with.’

Patrick Brammall (Offspring, Glitch) and Harriet Dyer (The Invisible Man, No Activity) will return to write, star and executive produce the series which will air on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer. It will be produced by Easy Tiger Productions (Jack Irish, Rake, The Twelve). The series is distributed outside of Australia and New Zealand by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

 

Series one launched on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer in April 2023 to five star reviews and an average audience of 2.2m (BARB 28 Day 4 Screen). The series centred on Ashley and Gordon; two single(ish), complex humans who are brought together by a car accident and an injured dog. Colin From Accounts is about flawed, funny people choosing each other and being brave enough to show their true self, scars and all, as they navigate life together.

 

Head of Programme Acquisition Sue Deeks says: "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."

 

No Activity, which also stars Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer, transmits on Thursdays at 10pm on BBC Two and all episodes are available on BBC iPlayer.
