The Tourist has already received high praise from U.K.-based critics and Dornan fans will be pleased to hear the show has found a home on HBO Max worldwide. Newsweek has everything you need to know about The Tourist, including release date, cast, trailer, plot, and more.
When is The Tourist Out on HBO Max?
At the moment, The Tourist is only available to watch via the BBC iPlayer in the U.K. However, the good news is, The Tourist is officially coming to HBO Max very soon.
An exact release date has not yet been confirmed but judging by the release patterns of other HBO and BBC crossover dramas, audiences should not have too long to wait.
For example, the Gossip Girl reboot found a home on the BBC iPlayer just 1 month after it aired on HBO Max in the U.S.
BBC’s The Trial of Christine Keeler also found a home on HBO Max alongside Idris Elba’s acclaimed drama, Luther.
To watch The Tourist when it airs on HBO Max, you must be an HBO Max customer. You can sign up to HBO Max now for $14.99 per month.
What is The Tourist About?
The Tourist centers around a Northern Irish man (who is mysteriously called The Man) played by Belfast’s Jamie Dornan who, after being driven off the road in the Australian outback and seriously injured, wakes up in hospital to find he has no recollection of what happened and no memory of who he is.
As he tries to put the pieces together of his old life with the help of a rookie Australian constable, The Man finds himself in an epic cat-and-mouse chase with figures from his past who want him dead.
Not only is The Tourist a gripping thriller, but it is also a comedy and will have audiences hooked and also laughing out loud at The Man’s ordeal.

50 Shades of Grey and Belfast star Jamie Dornan leads the cast of The Tourist as The Man.
