Everything about the second season of ‘The Tourist’
While originally the series was meant to only have one season, the success paved the way for a continuation. In an interview with BBC, Dorman said “I don’t think we expected it to be the most watched show in the U.K. that year and when there’s that much of an appetite, it felt like the right thing to give people more.”
Without revealing any surprises, in the second season, Elliot (played by Dorman) and Helen (played by Danielle Macdonald) travel to Ireland to uncover the mysteries surrounding Elliot’s identity. Similar to the first season, Season 2 of “The Tourist” consists of six episodes.
The rest of the cast will consist of new faces such as Diarmaid Murtagh, Conor MacNeill, Olwen Fouéré, Francis Magee, Mark McKenna, Réginal-Roland Kudiwu and Nessa Matthews.
