Colin from Accounts season 3 UK release date
Wondering when Gordon, Ashley, and Colin roll back onto British screens? Here's where things stand as of July 2026 — and there's good news and a small catch.
The short answer
The BBC hasn't confirmed a UK date yet. Season 3 premieres in Australia on 27 July 2026, with episodes one and two dropping on Binge and Foxtel On Demand, then weekly. Based on previous gaps, BBC Two and iPlayer should get it in autumn 2026.
Why autumn is the smart bet
The show has followed the same pattern twice. Season 1 launched in Australia on 1 December 2022 and reached BBC Two on 11 April 2023. Season 2 landed on Binge on 30 May 2024 and hit BBC Two on 3 September 2024 — a gap of roughly three months. Apply that maths to a 27 July 2026 Australian premiere and you're looking at late October or November 2026 for the UK.
Not confirmed. But that's the shape of it.
What season 3 is about
The eight new episodes pick up in the aftermath of Gordon's spectacularly ill-timed proposal at Megan and Rumi's wedding — the cliffhanger that ended season 2. Gordon (Patrick Brammall) and Ashley (Harriet Dyer) are determined to move on from the embarrassment, but their baggage keeps dragging them back into each other's orbit.
The official question hanging over the season: do they actually belong together, or is Colin the dog the only thing keeping them tied?
The creators know exactly what they did. In the renewal announcement, Brammall and Dyer said:
"We promise we won't leave you hanging like that again. Probably."
What else we know
- Episode count — eight, matching the first two seasons.
- Directors — Trent O'Donnell returns for four episodes; Harriet's sister Madeleine Dyer directs the other four.
- New faces — Thomas Cocquerel, Nikki Shiels, and Mark Trevorrow join the cast.
- Returning favourites — Emma Harvie, Genevieve Hegney, Michael Logo, Helen Thomson, Darren Gilshenan, Virginia Gay, Celeste Barber, and more.
Where to watch in the UK
Both existing seasons stream on BBC iPlayer, and season 3 is expected to follow the same route — BBC Two broadcast plus a full iPlayer box set. Season 2 currently holds a 100% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, so the bar is set.
