Patrick Brammall Reveals Unexpected Season 2 Plans for Hit Comedy ‘Colin From Accounts’—Release Date, Cast Updates & More

Australian actor Patrick Brammall is enjoying a surge of international attention after being confirmed as Anne Hathaway’s on-screen love interest in “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” the long-anticipated sequel to the 2006 fashion-world classic. Brammall will walk the red carpet at the film’s first major premiere at Sydney’s historic State Theatre on 28 April, joining co-stars Hathaway and Emily Blunt for a glamorous home-country kickoff before the movie’s global press tour begins. In the sequel, Brammall plays Peter, a charismatic sustainability guru who shakes up both Runway magazine and Andy Sachs’ personal life 15 years after she quit Miranda Priestly’s office. Speaking to USA Today at an advance screening, the Sydney-born star described his first day on set with Hathaway as “surreal” and credited director David Frankel for fostering an atmosphere that felt “like stepping back into cinema history, only with sharper stilettos”. The casting marks Brammall’s biggest Hollywood role to date. While North American audiences discovered him through the cult comedy series “Colin From Accounts,” Australians have followed his career since “Upper Middle Bogan” and the AACTA-winning crime drama “No Activity.” Industry analysts say the Prada sequel could catapult him into the same global orbit as fellow Aussies Chris Hemsworth and Margot Robbie, thanks to the franchise’s built-in fan base and Brammall’s proven knack for deadpan charm. Marketing insiders note that “The Devil Wears Prada 2” puts diversity and eco-fashion at its narrative core, allowing Brammall’s outspoken environmental advocacy to double as free promotion. His Instagram stories already feature behind-the-scenes footage of sustainably sourced costumes and shout-outs to Australian designers, creating a virtuous loop between the film’s plot and his personal brand. Beyond the big screen, Brammall is slated to host a one-night fundraiser for the Garvan Institute of Medical Research the evening after the Sydney premiere, leveraging the international press in town for the film. Tickets reportedly sold out in under three minutes, underscoring his rapidly growing star power at home. With ticket pre-sales tracking higher than the original film’s re-release numbers and social-media chatter spiking around keywords like “Patrick Brammall Prada sequel,” analysts predict the 49-year-old actor will be one of 2026’s breakout names. Whether he becomes fashion’s next household heartthrob or a multi-genre leading man, Brammall’s runway to global fame officially begins under the klieg lights of Sydney next week.
