After a long wait, The Tourist Season 2 has been confirmed by the BBC, much to the delight of fans. The show, starring Jamie Dornan, premiered on BBC One in January 2022 and was distributed globally by All3Media. It tells the story of Elliot, a Northern Irish man who wakes up in an Australian hospital with no memory of his past. With the help of Luci Miller and PC Helen Chambers, he must uncover his true identity before his violent past catches up with him.

In March 2022, the BBC announced that the popular series The Tourist was renewed for Season 2. Fans of the show were thrilled to hear that Jamie Dornan would be returning to reprise his role as the mysterious Northern Irish man known only as Elliot.

In season one, Elliot found himself working with a woman named Luci Miller and PC Helen Chambers to uncover his identity, even as his violent past began to catch up with him. However, as the season progressed, Elliot discovered that he was not the hero of the story. He was a heroin smuggler who had committed murder and disfigurement with impunity. Devastated by this revelation, Elliot decided to take his own life, leaving viewers on a cliffhanger wondering if he had succeeded.

In The Tourist Season 2 viewers will pick up where the first season left off, with Elliot having survived his suicide attempt and returning home with PC Helen Chambers in tow. Here's the BBC's synopsis:

“After their adventure in the Australian Outback, The Tourist’s epic second series follows Elliot and Helen as they travel to Ireland together. In an attempt to rediscover Elliot’s roots following his memory loss, they’re dragged into the dangerous whirlwind of his past life and are confronted by friends and foes both old and new, including Niamh Cassidy and the McDonnell family – Donal, Orla, Fergal, and Frank. Detective Ruairi Slater becomes embroiled in the crossfire between the McDonnells and the Cassidys as the secrets of the family rivalry unravel.”

Although the BBC started filming for The Tourist Season 2 in April 2023, the release date for the new season is yet to be announced. Given the current circumstances, it's difficult to estimate when the series will be available for viewing. However, considering the typical production timeline for TV shows, it's likely that the new season won't be released before 2024.

As of now, there is no trailer and release date for The Tourist Season 2. We will come up with more updates on the show. Keep a tab on Devdiscourse for more updates on BBC One dramas.
