The third and final season of the romantic comedy series Colin from Accounts premiered in Australia on Foxtel and Binge on 27 July 2026. The conclusion to the series, which was created and written by the real-life couple Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall, is described as a funny and emotional end to the show. The first two episodes aired weekly, with the remaining episodes following in subsequent weeks.

The narrative timeline jumps three years forward, revisiting the central "will they or won't they?" dynamic between protagonists Ashley, played by Dyer, and Gordon, played by Brammall. Ashley is now a practising doctor, while Gordon has sold his brewery and made poor investment choices, including a failed venture involving axe throwing. The season begins by recapping the awkward proposal scene that concluded the second series, where Gordon asked Ashley to marry him and she responded with a deferral.

Both leads have new partners, though the review notes that these characters serve primarily as narrative placeholders. Ashley’s new boyfriend, David, is portrayed as allergic to dogs, while Gordon’s girlfriend, Chelsea, is described as "full on". The review suggests that Dyer and Brammall present these new relationships as largely unlikeable to keep the focus on the central pair.

The series also features a supporting cast including Gordon’s brewery colleagues Chiara and Brett, as well as Ashley’s family. Her mother, Lynelle, and father-in-law, Lee, are involved in a men’s rights group called Women Against Women Against Men. The show is directed by Trent O’Donnell and Madeleine Dyer, who continue the show’s effortless rhythms.

Only the first four of eight episodes were made available to the press at the time of the review. The reviewer expressed hope that the team would "stick the landing" for the remaining episodes. UK and US airdates have not yet been announced.
