Things are already looking up for 2022 with Stan confirming that Stan Original Series The Tourist is coming to our screens on January 2, while also releasing an action-packed new trailer for the six-part mystery-thriller.

The series stars BAFTA nominee Jamie Dornan as a British man (referred to only as 'The Man' in the series) who finds himself being aggressively pursued by a tank truck that is trying to drive him off the road in the middle of the Australian outback

Their on-road game of cat-and-mouse ends with The Man waking up in a hospital, injured and unable to remember his name or anything about his life. 

But this does not stop dangerous people from his past chasing him down, forcing The Man to head into the unforgiving outback looking for answers.
