The Touristis going to be a show filled with quirky characters and be action filled while also having a comedic edge to the show. The six-episode series is written by BAFTA-nominated and Emmy-winning producers and screenwritersHarry WilliamsandJack Williams, who are also serving as executive producers withChristopher AirdandAndrew Benson.
The first look images show Dornan with a beard and crew cut hairstyle filling his gas tank, driving down a road, and standing outside. All looking as if he’s somehow on the run from something and simultaneously searching for something. Which fits with the description ofThe Touristperfectly.
Here’s the synopsis forThe Tourist:
“Full of shocking, surprising, funny and brutal turns, THE TOURIST is set in a world populated by quirky, enigmatic characters and off-beat comedy punctuates high-stakes action. At its heart, however, is a story of self-discovery with a ticking timebomb underneath: as The Man starts to uncover the mystery of who he was, he’s also forced to ask who he is now – and fast. Will he unlock the secrets of his identify before those who are trying to kill him catch up with him?
Jamie Dornan stars as a British man who finds himself in the glowing red heart of the Australian outback, being pursued by a vast tank truck trying to drive him off the road. An epic cat and mouse chase unfolds and the man later wakes in hospital, hurt, but somehow alive. Except he has no idea who he is. With merciless figures from his past pursuing him, The Man’s search for answers propels him through the vast and unforgiving outback.”
Dornan has proven to us all time and time again of his talent. He’s funny, he’s willing to take risks, andThe Touristsdefinitely sounds like another HBO Max hit that we can’t wait to see! Sadly, there is no release date for the show just yet, but we’ll be sure to keep you updated as more information drops.
