The creators of BBC One\u2019s The Tourist<\/a>, Jack and Harry Williams, have teased the upcoming thriller, revealing that fans can expect \u201cemotion, jeopardy, tension and narrative surprise\u201d from the six-parter.<\/p>\n

The Tourist is the latest drama from the Williams brothers, who\u2019ve produced Back to Life, Angela Black, Baptiste and Fleabag, with Jamie Dornan starring as a British man who wakes up in the Australian Outback after a car accident with no memory of who he is.<\/p>\n

Speaking to\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/a>\u00a0in an exclusive interview, Jack said about the show: \u201cI think it\u2019s surprising,\u00a0not just plot-wise but I think tone-wise. The places it goes are weirder and stranger than episode one even would suggest and I think people like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt certainly doesn\u2019t settle into the\u2013 it pays homage to it, it doesn\u2019t settle into the rhythms of what you might expect a thriller like this to be about. I think we hit a lot of those notes and there\u2019s action and there\u2019s definite emotion and jeopardy and tension and narrative surprise.<\/p>

\u201cBut there are also moments that, frankly, are pretty f**king weird. We\u2019re very delighted that the BBC and [US broadcaster] HBO Max understand and let us do it. Particularly by the time we get to episode five, there\u2019s some choices that I\u2019m not sure the show would have made and hopefully people enjoy it,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully, it marks it out from other offerings on TV that it\u2019s constantly trying to surprise and entertain and reverse your expectations of what you think is going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Harry, when asked to describe the drama is three words, answered: \u201cSurprising, weird and hopefully unique.\u201d<\/p>\n

The series also features Unbelievable\u2019s Danielle Macdonald, Line of Duty<\/a> star Shalom Brune-Franklin, The Missing\u2019s \u00d3lafur Darri \u00d3lafsson and Mindhunter<\/a>\u2018s Damon Herriman.<\/p>\n
