Colin From Accounts season 2: Star’s ‘more hilarious’ promise

Beloved Aussie comedy Colin From Accounts returns to the small screen in less than a fortnight. One of its stars promises it’ll be funnier than ever.

They’ve been labelled the funniest couple on TV, are taking the world by storm – and with three Logies under their collar, Colin From Accounts fans who “loved the first season should buckle up,” says Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer’s co-star Tai Hara.

The Sydney actor, who stars as Ashley’s ex-boyfriend and hospital co-worker James, said “Pat and Harry have really outdone themselves,” on season two.

“It’s bigger, better and more hilarious than ever,” Hara told Confidential.

The first season of the romantic comedy featured a nipple flash, a dog being run over and an exaggerated poop scene, a whirlwind relationship between unlikely dog co-parents “that made everyone fall in love”.

The new season is said to feature even more “relationship misadventures” between Ashley and Gordon, played by Brammall and Dyer, as they return to the small screen as the flawed but loveable characters.

“We all had the feeling that it was something special, we loved making it so much,” Hara said. “But no one in their wildest dreams could have foreseen the global sensation it’s become.”

Australians do drama so well that Hara said “there’s been a dry patch” in the romantic space “for quite a while.”

“It’s another reason why Colin has been such a success.”
