You may recognise Jamie Dornan from his role as the BDSM-loving character Christian Grey in the 50 Shades of Grey.
He also starred in The Fall, a well acclaimed BBC One thriller that was later released on Netflix.
Jamie, a diverse actor in his own lane, played the creepy character – Paul Spector, a serial killer who targeted young women in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The star will play the protagonist – a character referred to solely as The Man – who is searching for his identity.

The actress, born in 1994, has also starred in Our Girl (2013-2020), Thor (2017), Other Life (2017) and Cursed (2020).
Shalom will play the role of Luci, a waitress who will cross paths with The Man.
Danielle Macdonald

When is The Tourist on the BBC?
The BBC released first look images for the show back in May 2021.
The story follows a British man played by Jamie Dornan who finds himself being followed by a tank truck trying to drive him off the road.
He later wakes up injured in a hospital with no idea who he is.
The BBC describes the show as “full of shocking, surprising, funny and brutal turns… set in a world populated by quirky, enigmatic characters and off-beat comedy”.
The show will be released on January, 1, 2022, and runs for six episodes.
The mystery thriller, set and filmed in Australia, will be available on BBC One and iPlayer.
