Colin from Accounts was a surprise hit when the series landed on the BBC from Australia in 2023 – and now the show’s second season is finally returning with a release date. Are you ready to relive the adventures of Gordon, Ashley and their dog Colin?
The show has been confirmed to return to BBC Two from Tuesday 3 September, with the full box set available on BBC iPlayer the same day.
For those who may not have seen the show, the romantic sitcom is about an unlikely couple who come together after both hit a dog. While caring for their recovering dog and paying a hefty pet bill, they move in together – and fall in love in the process.
The official synopsis reads: “The series centers on Ashley and Gordon, two (fairly) single, complex people who are brought together by a car accident and an injured dog. Colin From Accounts is about flawed, funny people who choose each other and have the courage to show their true selves, scarred and all, as they navigate life together.”

We are delighted that there will be another series of the utterly captivating Colin From Accounts for us all to enjoy.”
The stars of the show, Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall, are a couple in real life and spoke to the Guardian about producing the show together. Patrick said: “It’s too much time to spend with anyone, let alone your partner. For a year we’re constantly in each other’s pockets, so we have to make sure we spend time apart. Rediscover ourselves.”

Harriet added: “It’s a bit like Stockholm syndrome. He goes for a walk and I miss him. I have to be honest, we’ve had a huge row every season. It clears the pipes – gets the dirt out… When the camera is rolling, I don’t feel like it’s us. There’s this beautiful time between ‘Action!’ and ‘Cut!’. When I’m not Harriet, he’s not my husband, we don’t have a toddler, we don’t have a dog on the other side of the world, we don’t have a mortgage. We’re Ashley and Gordon. And we’re at the beginning of everything.”
