Patrick Brammall Is Poised to Join the Ranks of Australia’s Great Exports

Patrick Brammall has had a high-profile year, reaching a wider international audience through the Devil sequel, starring in Apple TV+ thriller Last Seen and releasing the final season of Colin From Accounts. The Australian romantic comedy, which he created and stars in with his wife Harriet Dyer, has built audiences in Australia, the UK and the United States, marking a notable moment for a career largely based in Australia.

The series follows Ashley and Gordon, strangers who meet after Gordon hits a dog, Colin, with his car; their shared joke about the dog’s name helps establish their connection. Brammall says the premise needed more reassurance for US buyers, while audiences in Australia and the UK were less concerned. The title also drew some resistance, with “Dog with Wheels” considered as an alternative, but the name reflects the characters’ shared sense of humour.
