The BBC has premiered the first trailer for “The Tourist,” a new mini-series thriller starring Jamie Dornan (“The Fall,” “Fifty Shades of Grey”).
Dornan plays a British man who finds himself in the Australian outback being pursued by a vast tanker truck trying to drive him off the road.
An epic cat and mouse chase unfolds as he later wakes in hospital, hurt, but somehow alive with no idea who he is. With merciless figures from his past pursuing him, his search for answers propels him across the unforgiving landscape.
The six-episode series also stars Damon Herriman, Danielle Macdonald, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Olafur Darri Olafsson, and Alex Dimitriades.
Penned by BAFTA-nominated and Emmy-winning producers and screenwriters Harry Williams and Jack Williams, both executive produce with Christopher Aird and Andrew Benson for Two Brothers Pictures (“Fleabag”).
“The Tourist” will premiere on BBC One in the UK on New Year’s Day and will screen later on HBO Max in the United States and Stan in Australia.
