HBO Max Sets Premiere Date for Jamie Dornan Thriller 'The Tourist'

HBO Max has set the premiere date for its highly anticipated thriller The Tourist. The action-packed series, which stars Jamie Dornan as a British man stricken with amnesia in the Australian outback, is a co-production with British broadcaster BBC and Australian streamer Stan. It originally aired back in January on BBC One---to generally positive reviews, particularly of Dornan's performance ---and will cross the pond to stream in the U.S. in March.

In this six-episode series, Dornan plays a character only known as "The Man," who finds himself in the glowing red heart of the Australian outback being pursued by a vast tank truck trying to drive him off the road. An epic cat and mouse chase unfolds and The Man later wakes in the hospital, hurt, but somehow alive — and with no idea about who he is. With merciless figures from his past pursuing him, The Man’s search for answers propels him through the vast and unforgiving outback.

A story full of shocking, surprising, and often brutal twists, The Tourist is a story of self-discovery with a dark underbelly. Because as The Man begins to unravel the mystery of who he used to be, he'll have to decide who he wants to become. And, perhaps most importantly, will he be able to unlock the secrets of his identity before those who are trying to kill him catch up with him?
