Netflix has acquired the exclusive streaming rights for the second season of Jamie Dornan's thriller series, The Tourist, portraying the story of an amnesiac man awakening in an Australian hospital and grappling with his lost identity.

The initial season of The Tourist, originally produced for the BBC, was accessible to US audiences via Max (formerly HBO Max) and also premiered on Stan and ZDF. The series, a production of Two Brothers Pictures in collaboration with Highview Productions, the South Australian Film Corporation, and All3Media International, earned enough success to warrant a six-episode second season.

Scheduled for debut on January 1, 2024, on the BBC, The Tourist's second season will only be available to US viewers on Netflix. The global streaming platform has secured exclusive rights for territories outside the UK, making the series accessible to international audiences from February 2024.


The Tourist Season 1 is set to hit Netflix on February 1, 2024, while season 2 will follow on February 29, 2024. This marks the first time that US audiences will have access to the second season, as the series has been removed from Max in the United States.
