Fans of the hit comedy series Colin From Accounts have plenty of reasons to celebrate. Today, Paramount+ revealed that it has picked up the series for Season 3. The streamer also announced that, once again, Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer will return to write, executive produce, and star in the new episodes. The formula has worked well for the show’s two previous seasons, so chances are that the third time is the charm for the sitcom. Paramount+ has not yet set a release window for the new season.
The series will continue to follow the everyday lives of Ashley (Dyer) and Gordon (Brammall). The couple became extremely relatable to audiences all over the world because they pretty much represent the millennial angst of trying to keep it together while having no clear idea of where their life is going. It all gets a bit brighter once they adopt a stray dog — the one that the series is named after. In an official statement, Dyer and Brammall celebrated the Season 3 renewal and teased one thing that they will try not to repeat this time around — the cliffhanger at the end of Season 2:
“We’re VERY excited to bring you season three of our show. To be honest, with the way we ended Season 2 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.”
‘Colin From Accounts’ Is Highly Praised by Critics and Fans Alike
By “hanging,” the duo means the way that things ended in Season 2, with the future of Ashley and Gordon completely uncertain. Fortunately, a new season will tie up those loose ends. However, fans didn’t have it easy — the Season 3 announcement comes a little over six months after Season 2 dropped on the streamer. Colin From Accounts has quietly won the hearts and minds of critics around the world. It was nominated for several awards, including the BAFTAs (for Best International Series) and both its seasons managed to land a rare 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. In her Season 2 review, Collider’s Carly Lane called the series “sensational” and “the best show that few are watching.” She wrote:
“While it could definitely be argued that the first season of ‘Colin from Accounts’ pushed some boundaries, Season 2 leans even more into the bold and experimental in terms of its comedy. Brammall and Dyer, who share writing duties on the season in penning alternating episodes, have already done the work of introducing us to these characters and this world; now, they have room to play outside the box a little more, and the results are hilarious but also occasionally uncomfortable and sad.”
Paramount+ also didn’t reveal an episode count for Colin From Accounts Season 3, but based on previous seasons, it’s likely that the story of Ashley, Gordon, and Colin is spread throughout an additional eight episodes.
