Praise for ‘Colin’

Seems the world cannot get enough of local series ‘Colin from Accounts’. Variety has called it a ‘global smash’ that has conquered the UK, nordic countries and now the US.

The show is a co-production with CBS Studios in the US and president David Stapf commented that the show he show serves as a prime example for why he’s looking to do more series and co-productions overseas. This month CBS is also screening ‘NCIS: Sydney‘, the first international edition of the popular procedural franchise.

“It’s just coincidental that they’re both from Australia,” says Stapf, while noting that it helps that studio parent Paramount Global operates Network 10 and Paramount+ Australia in the region. “That said, the talent pool and the crews and the extraordinary professionalism of everyone that we’ve dealt with, it’s been a really good working relationship with everybody down there.”

Show creators and stars Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall are now back in Australia, preparing to shoot the second season of ‘Colin from Accounts’. Congratulations to the 64 MCTV members who worked on Series 1. More to come…
