Jamie Dornan is set to star in the forthcoming six-part series The Tourist, which is a collaboration between BBC and HBO Max, reports Deadline. 

Dornan, who we know from the thriller series The Fall (2013-2016) and Fifty Shades franchise (2015-2018), will be taking the lead. We can look for Dornan as a British transplant in Australia. His character is referred to simply as "The Man."

Possibly because his character wakes up in a hospital with amnesia. Even he doesn't know who he is. Prior to his injuries, he was on the road in the Australian outback, being pursued by an enraged fuel truck driver.

Before filming started, Dornan released a statement on the new project, saying, "The Tourist are some of the most exciting scripts I’ve ever read. I can’t wait to go to Australia with such a talented group of people," reports  ComingSoon.net. 

The folks over at HBO Max have released new photos of Dornan in character:

Here he is in the first episode, glancing back at a truck behind him. We imagine him thinking, "Who's that!?"

Here he is in the second episode, making a pit stop. Maybe he's thinking, "Is that big truck gone!?"

In the third photo, he's out in the dessert sans truck. We'd insert a thought bubble, saying, "I'll just go for a relaxing stroll."

We joke, as nothing about this seems relaxing. Waking up in a hospital with no memory is terrifying. Being chased by a truck driver is distressing. The Man is on a hunt for answers and we'll go along on the ride with him as the six-part series rolls out.

We can also look for Hugo Weaving as a highly-regarded detective. Weaving released a statement, saying, "I’m very excited to be slipping into the skin of one of the fabulously idiosyncratic characters who people the desert landscape of The Tourist. The scripts are wonderful. Dark and shocking, surprising and hilarious and always very human. This is a tonally uniquely project and should be an unforgettable ride and shoot for us all."

The series is co-written by Harry and Jack Williams (Baptiste), with Chris Sweeney (Liar) set to direct.

While in the early stages, we can eventually look for The Tourist in both the U.S. and U.K., via HBO Max and the BBC, respectively.

Have the first look photos stirred up some intrigue!?
