The A.V. Club has a soft spot for Colin From Accounts, so we are pleased to hear that the sharp, off-kilter romantic comedy is returning for a third season. Paramount+ announced today that the Australian co-production, created by and starring Patrick Brammall (Evil) and Harriet Dyer (American Auto) will return to pen more misadventures between Ashley, Gordon, and of course their dog Colin. (From Accounts.) 

“We’re VERY excited to bring you season three of our show,” said Brammall and Dyer in a statement via Paramount+ press release. “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.”

Spoiler alert if you haven’t caught up: in the second season of Colin From Accounts, Ashley (Dyer) and Gordon (Brammall) forged forward with their relationship against all odds (a significant age gap, moving in together way too fast, and really difficult families). After a family tragedy, Gordon finally managed to open up and tell Ash he loved her for the first time—only to ruin things moments later by proposing to her at her best friend’s wedding. Ashley choosing not to answer made for a deliciously awkward cliffhanger. Speaking with the Missoulian last year, the real-life couple hinted that there could be a time jump in the upcoming season. “We’re almost thinking of each season as an act,” Brammall told the outlet. “Whether it’s a three-act or a five-act we’re not sure, but it feels like these beats in a relationship.”

The A.V. Club‘s Danette Chavez, who counted Colin From Accounts among her favorite shows of 2024, wrote in her second season review that the real-life couple of Dyer and Brammall not only have “the kind of natural chemistry most romantic leads can only dream of,” but they’re also “keen observers of humanity”: “While they certainly know how to ratchet up the absurdity, they’re even more invested in the emotions that ground the show’s heightened moments. They understand how to mine relationships for drama and comedy, frequently blurring the line between the two in their ribald yet heartfelt series—and helping the relationship comedy flourish on TV once again.”
