The creators/stars of Colin from Accounts have revealed a plot twist ahead of the upcoming third season – the story is set to jump "a couple years" into the future.
Harriet Dyer –who plays Ashley and also co-created the series with real-life husband Patrick Brammall (who plays Gordon) – previously suggested that the pair were toying with a time jump following the events of the season two finale, but didn't rule out that the series "might go straight on".
However, speaking to RadioTimes.com on the red carpet for the 2025 BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises, Dyer confirmed that she and Brammall are now working on the new season and it will indeed take a leap forward.
"We're writing it now," she confirmed. "It starts a couple years later… there's a time jump."
The second season of Colin from Accounts – which is nominated for a BAFTA in the International category – ended with Gordon impulsively proposing to Ashley. She rejected the proposal, leaving him humiliated and their relationship status ambiguous.
It now seems we'll skip over the immediate aftermath of that event and instead catch up with the pair – and Colin – a little further into their journey.
Following the unconventional romance between the flawed but endearing Gordon and Ashley as they are brought together by a car accident involving a dog, Colin from Accounts has earned critical acclaim and major awards recognition since it launched in 2022, winning the Logie Award for Most Outstanding Comedy Program and earning nominations at international festivals including the Monte-Carlo Television Festival.
Dyer and Brammall, though, did not expect the series to earn an international following – admitting that they weren't even sure if it would be broadcast outside of their native Australia.
"We didn't know it would sell internationally – we just made a show for Australians," Dyer explained. "We had no idea that it would travel the way that it has. We didn't even know if Australians would like it!"
Brammall added: "I remember we finished shooting the first season – and we'd really made something that we liked. We said, 'I don't know if anyone's going to like this, but we like it' – and so for it to have the love that it's had afterwards has been really great."
Colin from Accounts was renewed for a third season in April and airs on BBC Two in the UK. The first two seasons are available to stream now on BBC iPlayer.
