'The Tourist' Cast and Character Guide: A Recap of Who's Who Before Season 2

Jamie Dornan leads the stellar cast of the hit BBC series.

A thought-provoking mystery akin to the likes of Christopher Nolan's Memento , The Tourist hit the BBC back in January 2022, with its critical and public acclaim across the pond soon translating into praise in the US following its debut on HBO Max. A whirlwind adventure that also showcases its gorgeous Australian backdrop, it came as no surprise to many when the series was picked up for a second outing . However, Max shockingly dropped the show from their catalog, with Netflix swooping in and saving the day, providing the upcoming second season with a rightful home. With that in mind, here is a look at some of the incredible cast of characters The Tourist has to offer.

The Tourist

When a man wakes up in the Australian outback with no memory, he must use the few clues he has to discover his identity before his past catches up with him.

Jamie Dornan

The man/elliot stanley.

Known initially only as The Man, The Tourist begins with this mysterious stranger ominously waking up in an Australian hospital with a severe case of amnesia. Although it soon becomes clear his real name is Elliot Stanley, the gripping puzzle surrounding his identity creates the backbone of the show as Stanley's troubled Irish past swiftly begins to catch up with him. As the series continues, Dornan becomes a pensive, steadfast action hero, although, unlike a series such as Reacher , this masculine lead is allowed the time to be vulnerable, thrusting the classic male hero into a progressive 2024 role model. In Season 2, The Man has traveled back to his home country with filming in Dublin beginning in 2023 .

With a screen career that dates back to Sofia Coppola 's Marie Antoinette in 2006, Jamie Dornan 's rise to the top has been swift, with his portrayal of Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades franchise solidifying him as a household name. Among his high-profile career to date, Dornan has starred alongside Cillian Murphy in the World War Two spy thriller Anthropoid , portrayed the spiritual precursor to Ryan Gosling's Ken in Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar , and acted opposite Gillian Anderson in the tense crime thriller The Fall . A captivating performer with an eye-catching range, Dornan is merely at the beginning of what looks to be an incredible career with many an iconic role still to come. Dornan discussed his time on the series and more in an interview with Collider's Christina Radish back in 2022.

Danielle McDonald

Helen chambers.

Helen's face is the first The Man sees following his sudden awakening, with that moment cementing her as a crucial component to the enigma's journey. At the bottom of the professional ladder, Helen Chambers will stop at nothing to prove she is an expert law enforcement officer, although sometimes her dedication to her job, and specifically the case involving The Man, puts her livelihood and her marriage in jeopardy, which eventually leads to a surprising and show-stealing romance with The Man.

With a career that has only spanned just over a decade to date, Danielle McDonald has already made a name for herself, with both the public and critics alike regularly praising her impressive range of performances. From her beginning on Glee in 2011 through to American Horror Story , McDonald has delighted on the small screen, but perhaps her film work in the likes of Bird Box and Patti Cake$ showcases the best of her talents. To find out more about the actress and her thoughts on playing Helen Chambers in The Tourist , check out her interview with Collider's Christina Radish .

Victoria Haralabidou

Lena pascal.

Lena's journey in The Tourist 's first season is as unique as they come, first appearing as a vision in the dreams (or nightmares) of The Man. As time goes by, these visions become stronger and more detailed, with the puzzle of Lena's identity slowly being pieced together. By season's end, it becomes clear that Lena marks the darkest secret from The Man's past, with Season 2 likely to involve The Man's attempts at redemption.

A star of both stage and screen, the Russian-born Victoria Haralabidou has impressed immensely across a 25-year-long acting career, with highlights including the likes of Brides , The Secrets She Keeps , and The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart . In the near future, Haralabidou will be playing Jacinta Brightface in two episodes of Zombie Therapy .

Shalom Brune-Franklin

Luci miller.

Luci Miller's part in the plot of The Tourist 's first season is critical, with the waitress helping The Man piece together his past in the hope of protecting his future. However, Luci is hiding secrets of her own, with her growing bond with The Man soon seeming to have an ulterior motive. Sadly, Luci's involvement in the story is limited to just the first season, but her influence on the second season's plot shouldn't be underestimated.

A young actress with the world at her feet, Shalom Brune-Franklin , although she has a cameo role in Thor: Ragnarok , is best known for her work on television. Whether it's The Tourist , Doctor Doctor , Bad Mothers , or Line of Duty , Shalom never looks out of place alongside actors twice her age, with her future certainly looking bright.

Greg Larsen

Ethan Krum is the fiancée of Helen Chambers and symbolizes the familial cost of the young policewoman's dedication to her profession. A patient and kind man at heart, and never far from a moment of absurdist comic relief, watching Ethan slowly lose faith in the woman he loves is heartbreaking, with The Tourist 's dedication to showcasing both the mystery at its center and the ripple effects of such a tough task one of its best features. Interestingly, despite Helen and The Man now being a romantic item, Ethan is confirmed to appear in Season 2.

Perhaps the most experienced actor in The Tourist 's talented cast, Greg Larsen is a legendary Australian performer with a back catalog that includes the likes of Hug the Sun , How Not to Behave , and Young Rock .

The second season of The Tourist will officially premiere on February 29 on Netflix , with the trailer available to watch above. All episodes of The Tourist Season 1 are available to stream right now on Netflix.

The Tourist review – Jamie Dornan is intense in explosively entertaining outback thriller

An Irishman wakes up in Australia with amnesia in this pulse-pounding series packed with humour and philosophical questions

F anging it down an outback road when he is rammed by a truck driver from hell, Jamie Dornan experiences a terrible accident that gives him amnesia – making him forget about all that bondage paraphernalia from Fifty Shades of Grey .

In the explosively entertaining six-part series The Tourist, created and written by Harry and Jack Williams, the Irish actor and former Hugo Boss and Calvin Klein studmuffin plays a louche loner who can’t remember who is he, what he is doing in Australia or why he appears to have “kill me” stamped figuratively speaking across his forehead.

Dornan joins a coterie of famous foreign actors who have been plonked in the thick of arid, unforgiving Australian land and left to fry in the sun for our dramatic amusement. See also: Gary Bond in Wake in Fright , who drank a lot of beer and went mad; Dennis Hopper in Mad Dog Morgan , who drank a lot of moonshine and went mad; Johnathon Schaech in Welcome to Woop Woop , who spent a lot of time with the locals and went mad; and soon to be Zac Efron in Gold, who, the trailer suggests, finds gold in them thar desert and then goes mad.

Come to think of it, Dornan’s character in The Tourist – billed as “The Man” – is pretty sane compared with these rather rabid fellows. He’s like Guy Pearce in Memento in that he’s determined but displaced (in this instance geographically as well as mentally) and constantly banging against the walls of his own mind. If the whole being rammed into near-oblivion wasn’t enough, “The Man” is also a mite concerned when, after meeting the friendly and charming Luci (Shalom Brune-Franklin) at a diner, there appears to be another (rather spectacular) attempt on his life.

The show’s central mystery has something to do with a man who has been buried alive and calls “The Man” from inside a barrel, begging to be found post-haste. Director Chris Sweeney (who helmed episodes one to three, with Daniel Nettheim steering the others) shoves a camera inside a tight coffin-esque space, evoking memories of Ryan Reynolds in Buried.

A big, beefy, cowboy shirt-wearing villain emerges in Billy (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson), who whistles cheerfully but with absolute menace, his merry tune a harbinger of impending doom. In the series’ second half, Alex Dimitriades emerges as another prominent bad guy, hamming it up in super-villain style.

Certain characters aren’t who they say they are, though that does not apply to Helen Chambers – a fair dinkum what-you-see-is-what-you-get probationary constable battling with low self-esteem. She is superbly portrayed by Danielle Macdonald (who played the gossip columnist Lillian Roxon in I am Woman ), bringing loads of colour and detail to what could have been the simple sweet hick. Macdonald’s performance vividly contrasts with the rough and tough Dornan – also perfect in a high-intensity role as a man who is something of a blank slate, frightened by who he is or who he may be. There are philosophical questions about identity to ponder – if viewers pause for a breather and stop chewing their nails – including to what extent each of us are defined by our past actions.

There’s also an oddly good performance from the ever-reliable Damon Herriman, offsetting his recent menacing work by playing a detective inspector in a way that’s both funny weird and funny ha-ha, suiting the show’s quite dry approach to comedy. Many scenes are humorous in a cagey way, sans explicit signposting: at one point for instance we discover a traffic pile-up has been created by two turtles rooting in the middle of the road. Elsewhere, in the aftermath of an intense confrontation, in a shot one could imagine belonging to a Coen brothers movie, the show cuts to a framed picture on a wall bearing the following message: “LIFE IS MADE OF CHOICES. WIPE YOUR FEET OR SCRUB THE FLOOR.”

The Tourist is very well shot by Ben Wheeler and Geoffrey Hall (who was also the cinematographer for Chopper , Red Dog: True Blue and Eden ), with colour grading that’s a little off, a little sickly, as if the blues and greens (hard to find in arid outback) in particular have been poisoned from the inside. This is a clever way of visualising the feeling that something isn’t quite right. Sweeney and Nettheim (whose directorial work includes episodes of Halifax: Retribution , Tidelands and Line of Duty) establish a cracker pace that creeps, creeps, creeps up on you, then explodes with a great big thunderclap of action then creeps, creeps, creeps up again.

The “bugger me dead, it’s hot!” action-thriller, as it shall henceforth be known, is by now very familiar, but The Tourist is different: a pulse-pounder that feels fresh despite many genre elements, particularly of the neo-noir variety. The show has a great forwards and backwards momentum, contrasting cliffhanger moments with questions about the past and the ambiguities therein. It’s a vision of Australiana that’s less “ where the bloody hell are you? ” than who the bloody hell are you, and what the bloody hell will happen next? And – summarising my personal response – bloody hell, this is good.

• Jamie Dornan stars as The Man/Elliot Stanley, unraveling his past as an Irish man with a troubled history.
• Portrayed by top talents like Danielle Macdonald and Shalom Brune-Franklin, each character adds depth and intrigue.

Created by Harry and Jack Williams, The Tourist is a critically acclaimed crime series that debuted on BBC One in March 2022. Nominated for a BAFTA the following year, the series follows The Man (Jamie Dornan), an Irish stranger who suddenly awakes in the Australian outback with no memory of who he is or why he's in the hospital. As The Man gathers clues and hints relating to his sordid past, he encounters a slew of colorful characters that keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

With Season 2 of The Tourist changing locations from Australia to Ireland, a few new characters have been introduced. However, many mainstays from Season 1 also return to the British Isle to keep an eye on The Man and his mysterious exploits. To prepare viewers for The Tourist Season 2, here is the official cast and character guide for this outstanding crime drama .

Cast Conor MacNeill, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Danielle Macdonald, Olwen Four, Jamie Dornan

Genres Drama, Mystery, Action

Rating TV-MA

Jamie Dornan portrays The Man in The Tourist . When the series begins, The Man is a complete cipher. He wakes up in a hospital in the Australian outback with amnesia and must figure out who he is and where he came from. As the story unfolds, The Man's cryptic past becomes more apparent, and he is revealed to be a person named Elliot Stanley, an Irish man with a troubled history. When Elliot flees to his native Ireland in Season 2, more about his family life is revealed.

A talented Irish actor who made his screen debut in Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette in 2006, Dornan's celebrity increased dramatically after starring as Christian Grey in the controversial Fifty Shades series. With The Tourist and the TV show The Fall, Dornan has distanced himself from the stigma of Christian Grey to remind viewers what a solid actor he can be. With excellent performances in Belfast, Synchronic, and Barb and Star go to Vista Del Mar, Dornan's finally getting the credit he deserves.

Danielle Macdonald Is Helen Chambers

Played by Danielle Macdonald , Helen Chambers is the Probationary Constable Helen Chambers. When The Man wakes up in the hospital, he is greeted by Helen, who is eager and determined to prove her skills as a new law officer.

Macdonald is a splendid Australian actor who made her TV debut in Glee in 2011. While she might always be synonymous with her unforgettable character Patti in Patti Cake$, Macdonald has appeared in everything from American Horror Story and Bird Box to Ladybird, Skin, Poker Face, and more.

Once Helen takes The Man's case and begins helping the stranger find clues about his past, Ethan becomes resentful of the time his wife is spending with someone else.

Larsen is a veteran TV actor and writer from Australia who has amassed over 20 credits thus far in his career. Notable credits include Hug the Sun, At Home Alone Together, The Edge of the Bush, How Not to Behave, and Young Rock .

Apart from making a brief cameo in Thor: Ragnarok, Franklin has spent the majority of her career on television, starring in such TV shows as Doctor Doctor, Bad Mothers, Cursed, Roadkill, Line of Duty, War of the Worlds, Love Me, and most recently, Great Expectations .

As Elliot and Helen are dragged into a longstanding family feud, the brand-new season introduces a raft of new characters.

Where was the tourist filmed jamie dornan thriller's filming locations explained.

When it comes to filming locations, Jamie Dornan's critically acclaimed thriller The Tourist excels by shooting its many twists and turns on location.

• The Tourist season 1 was filmed in South Australia, primarily in and around Adelaide, showcasing the region's diverse landscapes.
• Recognizable season-one filming locations include Port Augusta, Peterborough, and the Flinders Ranges, adding authenticity to the show's story.
• For season 2, The Tourist moved filming to Dublin, Ireland, with some scenes shot in Bray and the Wicklow Mountains, continuing the tradition of capturing unique locations.

When it comes to filming locations, The Tourist 's two seasons excel at capturing the very places they're set. A critically acclaimed BBC thriller series, The Tourist stars The Fall 's Jamie Dornan as a man who wakes up in an Australian hospital after surviving a life-altering car accident in the Outback. To make matters even more difficult, Dornan's character in The Tourist has amnesia . Unable to recall what he's doing in Australia, the man uses what few clues he has to piece together his identity. It's a tall order, especially since the man doesn't even remember his own name .

After finding a note in his jeans pocket to meet someone at a café in the town of Burnt Ridge, the man realizes his life before the car accident was more than a little complicated. As Luci (Shalom Brune-Franklin) puts it, Dornan's character " made some bad people angry ," which means figuring out his identity is a crucial — and time-sensitive — matter. As the man's past catches up with him, the twists and turns of The Tourist season 1 unfold for Jamie Dornan 's character, setting the stage for an equally stylish, shocking, and compelling sophomore outing.

The Tourist Season 1 Was Filmed In South Australia

Adelaide & Several Smaller Towns Are Featured In The Tourist Season 1

Unlike other series, The Tourist invests in its settings. For season 1, the cast and crew traveled to South Australia. The southern central part of the continent, South Australia is home to several low mountain ranges and arid rangelands. While there are some beautiful coastal spots, including South Australia's capital city, Adelaide. Notably, Jamie Dornan's character is run off the road by a trucker in a more desert-like area, but most of The Tourist season 1 was filmed in and around Adelaide . In one flashback, Adelaide's North Haven Beach even serves as a stand-in for Bali's Kuta Beach.

The Tourist Ending Explained By Jamie Dornan

Other recognizable South Australia filming locations in The Tourist season 1 include the small coastal city of Port Augusta and the town of Peterborough, which is located in the state's wheat country (via Entertainment Daily ). Since Peterborough is just off the Barrier Highway, it served as an ideal location for filming the man's journey to track down a mysterious caller in the first few installments of The Tourist 's six-episode season 1. Finally, the thriller was shot on location in the Flinders Ranges , the largest mountain range in South Australia that's home to the impressive natural amphitheater of Ikara.

The Tourist season 2 comes to Netflix on February 29, 2024.

The Tourist Season 2 Moved Filming To Dublin, Ireland

Some scenes were shot outside of dublin.

The Tourist season 1 was a huge hit with audiences and critics alike. In the United Kingdom, it became the most-watched show in 2022. For season 2, The Tourist moved to a new U.S. streaming home; Max dropped The Tourist , but Netflix picked it up. The show also swapped filming locations, trading Australia for Dublin, Ireland (via Radio Times ). While most filming took place in Dublin, some scenes were filmed in the coastal town of Bray and the Wicklow Mountains. Like its first outing, The Tourist season 2 adds authenticity to its story by filming at singular locations.
