New to Netflix, The Tourist stars Jamie Dornan in an Australian thriller series about a car crash victim who wakes up with amnesia in a hospital and must figure out his identity before his life is jeopardized.

The show premiered Jan. 1, 2022 on BBC in the United Kingdom, and aired months later on HBO Max in the United States. Amid production for Season 2, HBO Max removed the show from its catalogue despite co-producing the first season, per Deadline.

Netflix came to the rescue, announcing on Dec. 14, 2023 that they will be adding both seasons to the streaming platform. The Tourist Season 2 released in the UK on Jan. 1, 2024 and will be arriving in the U.S. on Feb. 29, 2024.

Upon the show’s initial release, Decider’s Joel Keller praised the cast’s performances and wrote that the first episode “hooked us in with its story.”

Luckily, you don’t have to wait to get started on watching the show! Netflix has released all six episodes of Season 1. Want to learn more? Here’s everything you need to know.
