Jamie Dornan Thriller 'The Tourist' Lands a Second Season

Despite the fact that it was originally intended as a limited series, the Jamie Dornan-led thriller The Tourist will return for a second season.

The news comes as part of a flurry of BBC renewal announcements that also saw Suranne Jones' submarine thriller Vigil and Martin Freeman's crime series The Responder land new seasons, along with the acclaimed prison drama Time, though it will return with an all-new cast and setting and become an anthology.

The first season of The Tourist follows the story of a Northern Irish man who wakes up in the Australian outback with amnesia following a brutal car accident. Enlisting the help of a rookie Australian cop, he works to piece together his identity and the details behind the crash that nearly killed him, all while dodging merciless figures from the past he doesn't remember. And though the Season 1 finale revealed some dark—and potentially deadly—secrets about his past, it looks like we'll get the chance to dig further into what it all means when the series returns.
