The show was a breakout hit when it premiered on BBC One and iPlayer at the start of the year, following an amnesiac in the Australian outback trying to piece together how he ended up there.<\/p>\n
Blending comedy and drama, the series had viewers hooked until that jaw-dropping season finale<\/a>, which gave us some insight into our mystery man and left the story on a tantalising cliffhanger.<\/p>\n Citing huge viewership, the BBC renewed the show for a second season<\/a> in March and Dornan touched on what it might involve in a new interview with\u00a0Radio Times<\/strong>.<\/p> \u201cIt\u2019s difficult to talk about without spoiling the ending of season 1, but all I\u2019ll say is there\u2019s an appetite for it,\u201d began the Northern Irish actor, known for roles in The Fall, Fifty Shades of Grey<\/a> and Kenneth Branagh\u2019s Belfast<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are conversations about how you continue the story \u2013 is it set before or after what we\u2019ve already seen? It\u2019s definitely all up for discussion. I really like playing the character and I think there\u2019s more to explore.\u201d<\/p>\n The Tourist was created by sibling writing partners Jack and Harry Williams, who gave Dornan a \u201cbroad idea\u201d of the identity of his character, but held onto the script for episode 6 until a \u201clong time\u201d into production.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, in a way, I felt like I was on a journey with the audience in terms of what was being revealed about The Man,\u201d added Dornan.<\/p>\n \u201cWhich is helpful when you\u2019re playing someone who has absolutely no recollection of who they are, or how they\u2019ve found themselves in this position.\u201d<\/p>\n The Tourist is available to stream on BBC iPlayer<\/a>. Season 2 is coming soon.
