Colin from Accounts S3: What We Know

Colin From Accounts Season Three Officially Underway in Sydney

Fans of the much-loved Australian comedy Colin From Accounts can rejoice, as the team behind the hit show has officially commenced filming for its third season. The announcement comes after a nail-biting cliffhanger ending to season two, leaving audiences desperate to know the fate of Gordon and Ashley following his rather eventful proposal.

The series, co-written and starring real-life couple Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer, is set to continue its run of relatable romantic mishaps and heartwarming moments. Brammall, who will also appear in the upcoming Devil Wears Prada 2, and Dyer are back on set in Sydney, bringing their unique blend of humour and chemistry to the beloved characters.

“After the season 2 cliffhanger, it would be cruel not to show you all what happens next, and we can’t wait for you to see it,” stated the writing and acting duo in a joint statement. They added, “Getting to make this show continues to be a total thrill for us, and we’re pumpled (pumped & humbled) that people have enjoyed the first two seasons so much. That’s what they say to our faces, anyway.”

The production team at Easy Tiger Productions, including executive producers Rob Gibson and Ian Collie, expressed their delight at returning to the world of Colin From Accounts. “It’s pure joy to return to our beloved Colin From Accounts with Harri, Patty and our brilliant cast and crew, along with some exciting new additions for season three,” they commented. “Thank you to our wonderful partners at Binge and CBS Studios for their unwavering commitment and support over the journey. We’re so excited for Colin fans around the world to see what’s next for Ashley, Gordon and Colin.”

The success of Colin From Accounts has been nothing short of phenomenal. Season one cemented its place as the Foxtel Group’s most-watched original scripted series of all time and has since achieved significant global acclaim, boasting a perfect 100 per cent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Season three also welcomes some fresh talent to the ensemble, with Thomas Cocquerel, Nikki Shiels, and Mark Trevorrow set to make their mark on the series.

Behind the camera, director Trent O’Donnell is returning to helm four episodes, with Madeleine Dyer also taking the director’s chair for four episodes, promising a consistent yet dynamic vision for the new season.

Filming Locations: A Sydney Affair

As expected, Colin From Accounts continues to be proudly filmed in Sydney, New South Wales. Production is actively taking place across a variety of inner-west and inner-city suburbs, with familiar locales such as Marrickville, Leichhardt, Camperdown, and Redfern expected to feature.

Karla Lampe, Acting Executive Director of Screen NSW, highlighted the show’s significance. ” Colin From Accounts is one of NSW’s greatest local IP export stories in recent years, and it’s exciting to see production is underway in Sydney on the third season,” she stated. “Screen NSW is thrilled to support Easy Tiger Productions, co-creators Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer, and the entire creative team, bring another season of this globally loved series to life.”

Recap: The Dramatic Season Two Finale

Season two concluded on a note that was both cringe-worthy and compelling, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats. The pivotal moment occurred at the wedding of Ashley’s best friend, Megan, to Rumi. In a highly emotional scene, Gordon finally declared his love for Ashley. However, the situation escalated dramatically.

Already navigating personal grief from the loss of his father earlier in the season, Gordon found himself swept up in the moment. After a conversation with Ashley’s ex-partner, who expressed regret over losing her, Gordon impulsively proposed on the dance floor in front of all the wedding guests.

The situation took an even more awkward turn when Gordon realised the enormity of his hasty decision and attempted to pass it off as a joke, much to the secondhand embarrassment of viewers.

This cliffhanger raises significant questions: Can Gordon and Ashley move past this mortifying moment and salvage their relationship? Harriet Dyer, speaking about the scene, explained its origins: “It came from such a beautiful place, and if you’re Gordon, and you’ve had a few drinks, and her ex says that’s the one that got away, and that isn’t it lucky that she met your dad before he died… I think he just got carried away.” The couple themselves admitted they had hoped the dramatic cliffhanger would pave the way for a third season, and their wish has certainly come true.

What to Expect in Season Three

While specific plot details for season three remain under wraps, Binge has provided a tantalizing glimpse into what lies ahead. The official synopsis reads: “The romantic comedy about two flawed, funny people choosing one another returns in the humiliating aftermath of Gordon’s failed proposal in the season two finale. Gordon and Ashley’s fate hangs in the balance — as does Colin’s.” The mention of Colin’s fate adds an intriguing layer of mystery to the upcoming season.
