The Tourist season 2 unveils first-look at returning Jamie Dornan
Jamie Dornan is back as amnesiac Elliot Stanley in the first images from The Tourist season 2.
Primed for broadcast on BBC One later this year, these all-new episodes, which take place in Ireland, also reunite fans with Danielle Macdonald's police officer Helen Chambers, as she and Elliot attempt to uncover the truth about his past.
"As Elliot and Helen are dragged into a longstanding family feud, series 2 introduces a raft of new characters including Detective Ruairi Slater (The Fall star Conor MacNeill), Niamh Cassidy (Olwen Fouéré of The Northman) and the McDonnell family – Donal (Outlander's Diarmaid Murtagh), Orla (Fair City's Nessa Matthews), Fergal (One of Us is Lying actor Mark McKenna) and Frank (Then You Run's Francis Magee)," added an official description.
Discussing his mysterious character last summer, Jamie (whose new spy blockbuster Heart of Stone is now streaming on Netflix) revealed that he'd extracted real feelings of being "lost or afraid" for his performance in The Tourist.
"I've never had to approach a character before who doesn't know who he is, so it was almost like a total opposite process for me of not allowing yourself a backstory and accepting every single discovery he has as something new," the actor told Variety.
"I often tried to consider myself in my most vulnerable moments, where I've felt lost or afraid, and draw on those."
The Tourist series 1 is streaming on BBC iPlayer and available on DVD and Blu-ray. It airs on Max in the US. Series 2 is on its way.
