Warning, this article contains spoilers at the end of Season 1 of The Tourist. If you do not want to understand anything, do not read!
After just six episodes and two broadcast evenings, The Tourist is already ending tonight on France 2. Viewers have the opportunity to find out exactly who Jamie Dornan, also known as Elliot Stanley, is. And what atrocities he committed before he lost his memory.
In the final minutes of the finale, Eliot, unable to get used to what he did to several women who in the past hid drugs for him, decides to take him to the end of his life. After his first unsuccessful suicide attempt, he ends up in hospital with an overdose. But before he can play to the end, he gets a text from Helen Chambers (Daniel McDonald), who seems ready to give him another chance and rolls his eyes.
Will Eliot succumb to overdose? Or will he survive and find Helen? Clearly, these are the questions that arise after this terrible rock, which at first did not necessarily require a sequel, as screenwriters Harry and Jack Williams created The Tourist as a complete mini-series.
However, following the phenomenal success of the series, which was watched by 12 million viewers in the UK, the BBC commissioned a second season last March. No information has been filtered yet on these new episodes, which, with the trust of our Harry Williams microphone, have not yet been written.
“The BBC really wants a second season. But there is nothing specific at the moment. We are still trying to see what the series might look like in Season 2.”Explained a few days ago as co-creator and producer of The Tourist at the Monte Carlo TV Festival.
“We want this second season to be as good as the first and also very different. The first season was a complete story, but at the same time we always viewed it as a prologue to a love story. The strangest couple “Continued Harry Williams with Elliott and Helen in mind about an unexpected love story.
“You meet a couple at a party, you ask: ‘How did you meet them?’ And they tell you the story of a ‘tourist’ (laughs). From the beginning this was really what we had in mind. And now he is there. Still to be said, this is for sure, we just have to decide what “.
And if the creator of the tour does not want to go too far ahead of what we can find on screen, it seems, in any case, he goes in the direction of a real sequel in which again Daniel McDonald and Jamie Dornan (who almost missed the role of Eliot). And not an anthology with new characters.
“I think Jamie and Daniel will be back in Season Two, yes. We just need to be able to tell new stories with their characters. But still it’s an idea.”.
In short, you will realize that it will take patience to discover the continuation of the adventures of Eliot Stanley. But the tourist journey has just begun.
