The Tourist Season 2 Cast Expansion and Returning Characters

The Tourist’s new cast additions, as reported by Variety, include Conor MacNeill, Olwen Fouéré, Mark McKenna, Diarmaid Murtagh, Nessa Matthews, and Francis Magee. Dornan will reprise his role as Elliot, an amnesia-afflicted car crash victim from Northern Ireland who is still struggling to uncover the truth about his past.

The actor expressed his excitement about the upcoming season, saying, “I can’t wait for audiences to see how well Ireland and its characters are utilized to keep them guessing as the tale progresses.”

Surprises and Romance

The first season of The Tourist kept audiences on edge, and according to Dornan, it was this characteristic that drew him to the show. In the previous season, Elliot needed the help of Constable Helen Chambers (Danielle Macdonald) to figure out his identity, and the finale saw the two seemingly on good terms.

The Tourist Season 2 will see the pair heading to Ireland, where they will confront their demons and get entangled in a rivalry between the McDonnell family and the Cassidys. Fans are hoping to see some of the romantic tension between Elliot and Helen rekindled.
