The trailer has dropped for the third series of hit Australian romcom Colin From Accounts.
The show picks up from the cliffhanger from series 2, in which Patrick Brammall’s character Gordon proposed to Harriet Dyer’s Ashley in the middle of their friends’ wedding party, to the stunned shock of all the other guests.
And it's clear from the new clips that they still haven't figured out their relationship...
Executive producers Rob Gibson and Ian Collie of Easy Tiger said in a statement: 'It’s a joy to get the band back together and make a third season of our beloved Colin, and thanked the 'talented, hardworking cast and crew for coming back to the party'.
Mark Trevorrow, best known for his comedy-cabaret alter-ego Bob Downe, is joining the cast for the new series.
The series will launch on the Binge streaming service in Australia on July 27.
Daniel Monaghan, an executive director of parent company Foxtel, said: 'Colin From Accounts has become one of those rare shows that feels unmistakably Australian while connecting with audiences around the world.
Both previous series of Colin From Accounts have aired on the BBC in the UK – and are still available on iPlayer – though it has not been formally announced that the broadcaster will carry series 3.
