BINGE revealed today that the second season of the critically acclaimed Australian series Colin From Accounts, created and written by Logie Award-winning stars Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer will be premiering on May 30 with episodes dropping weekly.
The new season will see more of Australia’s best comedic talent added to the already star-studded cast. Joining for season two is Celeste Barber (Wellmania, The Letdown) as Katie, Virginia Gay (Savage River, Safe Home) as Rumi, Justin Rosniak (The Surfer, Mr Inbetween) as Alistair, Lynne Porteous (Home and Away, The Commons) as Dawn and John Howard (SeaChange, The Merger) as Brian.
The new faces will join returning cast members Emma Harvie, Genevieve Hegney, Michael Logo, Helen Thomson, Darren Gilshenan, Annie Maynard and Tai Hara.
Virginia Gay said: "It's very rare that you get to walk onto the set of your favourite show and become a part of it. I love this show with all my heart, and the reason that it's so brilliant is because of the Patty-and-Harrietness of it. They are a joy to be around, and that joy is all over the screen.”
John Howard said: “I am so excited to be joining the cast of Colin from Accounts. The series has made so many people around the world laugh and it is a hilarious take on bouncing through love and life, warts and all. Well, no warts as far as I know of…”
Justin Rosniak said: “Colin From Accounts is the best show in Australia, hands down. If you're not laughing your head off, you're bawling your eyes out. It is truly an honour to be a part of this magical experience.”
In season two Ash and Gordon are now living together and trying to get their beloved, special needs dog, Colin, back from his new owners. It’s the first in a series of hurdles for the new couple, as they find out more about each other, for better and worse.
Colin From Accounts is produced by Easy Tiger Productions (Jack Irish, Rake, The Twelve) and CBS Studios with Rob Gibson, Ian Collie, Patrick Brammall, Harriet Dyer, Trent O’Donnell, Alison Hurbert-Burns and Lana Greenhalgh serving as executive producers and Kevin Greene producing. O’Donnell returns as set-up director, with Robyn Butler and Wayne Hope taking the reins for three episodes and Madeleine Dyer returning to direct an episode.
