‘The Tourist’: BBC Releases “first look” Season 2 Images Of Hit Jamie Dornan Drama
The BBC has released some “first look” images of the long-awaited 2nd Season of hit drama ‘The Tourist‘ starring Jamie Dornan.
The photos feature Jamie Dornan resuming his role as Elliot Stanley, a man looking to rediscover his true identity after his memory loss, alongside Danielle Macdonald as police officer Helen Chambers, following their adventure in the Outback. Set against the striking backdrop of Ireland, the pair are confronted by friends and foes as they attempt to uncover the secrets of Elliot’s past.
As Elliot and Helen are dragged into a longstanding family feud, series two introduces a raft of new characters including Detective Ruairi Slater (Conor MacNeill – Industry, The Fall), Niamh Cassidy (Olwen Fouéré – Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Northman) and the McDonnell family – Donal (Diarmaid Murtagh – Vikings, Outlander), Orla (Nessa Matthews – Fair City), Fergal (Mark McKenna – Sing Street, One of Us is Lying), and Frank (Francis Magee – Kin, Then You Run).
Full of shocking plot twists and the same off-beat comedy that made series one a success, The Tourist is set to return with even more quirky characters and intense action.
The first season of the drama was a huge hit for the BBC. With 11.4 million viewers in the UK, ‘The Tourist’ holds the title as the UK’s most-watched drama of 2022 across all platforms. The series was also crowned the winner of three Golden Nymphs Awards at the Monte Carlo Television Festival including Best Series, the festival’s highest accolade.
‘The Tourist’ season two is a Two Brothers Pictures (an All3Media company) production for the BBC, in association with Stan, ZDF and All3Media International created and written by Harry and Jack Williams (The Missing, Baptiste, Fleabag). Fergus O’Brien (Happy Valley, Gentleman Jack) directs the opening block with Johann Perry (Happy Valley, Gentleman Jack) as DOP, while Lisa Mulcahy (Blood, Years and Years) and Kate Dolan (Kin, You Are Not My Mother) direct block two and three respectively.
Executive producers are Harry and Jack Williams, Sarah Hammond and Daniel Walker for Two Brothers Pictures, with Nawfal Faizullah for the BBC, and Jamie Dornan. Alex Mercer (Inside Man, Crossfire) is producer.
‘The Tourist‘ Season 2 does not yet have a premiere date but will air on BBC One and iPlayer. If you want to keep track of this or any other show, you can add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when it gets a UK premiere date.
