'The Tourist' Heads to Ireland in the First Images from Season 2
When the BBC announced filming had commenced for The Tourist's second season, it came with a surprise relocation. The first season was set in the outback, with Jamie Dornan (Belfast) as a person referred to only as "The Man," with no memory of who he was and only an Irish accent to prove he wasn't from around here. Season 1's mystery was all about "The Man" figuring out exactly who he is and why he seems to be the target of a band of murderers, aided by Shalom Brune-Franklin (Great Expectations), who is initially introduced as Luci Miller and Danielle Macdonald (BirdBox) as the good-hearted PC Helen Chambers.
Season 1 concluded by revealing that Jamie Dornan's character was Elliot Stanley. However, it didn't fill in any part of his life other than he's the villain, and the good guys have been after him this whole time. After an ending that killed off a good chunk of the cast (including Brune-Frankin's character), it wasn't clear where the show would be heading. Naturally, the answer was Ireland, with a brand new set of characters for Elliot to run from along with his only surviving friend, PC Chambers.
The first images from Season 2 show off that Irish setting as the two characters travel across the world to find out what they can about who Elliot is and why he became a bad guy.
