Colin From Accounts will return.
Paramount+ has handed out a second-season renewal for the Australian romantic-comedy starring and created by Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer.
Commissioned by the Foxtel Group and co-produced by Easy Tiger Productions and CBS Studios, season two is distributed outside of Australia and New Zealand by Paramount Global Content Distribution. Colin currently has an impressive 100 percent rating among critics and an equally pleasing 93 percent score with viewers on Rotten Tomatoes.

“We’re super excited that Paramount+ has the good taste and exquisite judgment to renew us for another season,” Brammall and Dyer said in a statement announcing the pickup Wednesday.
Brammall and Dyer star as two singles who are brought together by “a nipple flash, a car accident and an injured dog.” Emma Harvie, Helen Thomson, Genevieve Hegney, Michael Logo and Tai Hara round out the cast of the series, which takes its title after the name of the injured pooch.
“Colin From Accounts quickly won over audiences with its quirky, relatable storylines and lovable characters,” said Jeff Grossman, executive vp programming at Paramount+. “Patrick and Harriet are crafting another phenomenal season, and we can’t wait to share what is next for Ashley, Gordon and Colin.”
Colin is the latest example of an international series finding success domestically a la Netflix’s Squid Game, Elite and Sex Education, among many others. The co-production with an international partner also helps keep budgets down with global distribution rights affording larger companies like CBS Studios parent Paramount Global to sell the series into multiple territories.
