Exclusive: Ólafur Darri Ólafsson and Alex Dimitriades are set as leads opposite Jamie Dornan in HBO Max’s The Tourist, the six-episode limited series from Fleabag production company Two Brothers Pictures for the BBC, in association with Highview Productions, All3Media International, the South Australian Film Corporation, HBO Max, Stan and Zdf.
Written by Two Brothers Pictures founders Harry and Jack Williams, The Tourist is set in a world populated by quirky, enigmatic characters as off-beat comedy punctuates high-stakes action.
