September 19, 2023 – Paramount+ today announced that the hit Australian comedy series COLIN FROM ACCOUNTS will debut in the U.S. on Thursday, November 9, exclusively on the service. The first two episodes of the series’ eight episode long first season will be available to stream at launch, with two new episodes dropping weekly on Thursdays through November 30. COLIN FROM ACCOUNTS first debuted last year in Australia to critical and viewer acclaim with The Guardian calling it a “hilariously joyful piece of TV.”
“COLIN FROM ACCOUNTS has already stolen the hearts of international audiences with its irresistible blend of lovable characters, endearing storylines and the perfect balance of modern-day romance and comedy,” said Jeff Grossman, Executive Vice President, Content & Business Operations, Paramount Streaming. “We are beyond thrilled to call Paramount+ the streaming home of the series here in the U.S. as it joins our growing slate of originals.”
COLIN FROM ACCOUNTS is centered on Ashley (Harriet Dyer) and Gordon (Patrick Brammall), two single(ish), complex humans who are brought together by a nipple flash, a car accident and an injured dog. The series is about flawed, funny people choosing each other and being brave enough to show their true selves, scars and all, as they navigate life together.
In addition to Dyer and Brammall, the series stars Emma Harvie as Megan, Helen Thomson as Lynelle, Genevieve Hegney as Chiara, Michael Logo as Brett and Tai Hara as James.
COLIN FROM ACCOUNTS is commissioned by the Foxtel Group and produced by Easy Tiger Productions and CBS Studios.
