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 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 engagingColin From Accountsfor us all to enjoy.”
