The Tourist needs a new home. The action drama series has been renewed for a second season by BBC, but The Tourist has lost its US outlet. Season one was released on HBO Max in March 2022, but the American streaming service didn’t pick up the second season. Max is removing the first season from the service on September 8th, a sign that the streamer isn’t reconsidering.
Starring Jamie Dornan, Danielle Macdonald, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Damon Herriman, Alex Dimitriades, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, and Kamil Ellis, the series follows a man (Dornan) who wakes up in an Australian hospital without his memory. He must remember his past before it catches up to him.
TV Line revealed the following about the plot of season two of the BBC series:
Season 2 of The Tourist, production of which has been completed, finds Dornan’s amnesia-stricken character Elliot and Probationary Constable Helen Chambers (the returning Danielle Macdonald) heading to Ireland as Elliott attempts to rediscover his roots. He’s quickly dragged into his past life, with dire consequences.
It isn’t known if BBC is looking for a new US home for the series.
What do you think? Did you watch season one of The Tourist? Do you plan to watch season two if it finds a new US home?
I’m in the U.S. and a huge Jamie Dornan fan. I’m really hoping somebody will pick up The Tourist for viewing in the States!
I live in Canada, and the first season of the Tourist was released on Amazon Prime. I am hoping that Amazon Prime will pick up Season 2. I’m a huge Jamie Dornan fan.
Season 1 is still on Max as of tonight!
A watched Season I on Amazon Prime.
