We don't know about you, but we feel Jamie Dornan has been desperately missing from our TV's recently.

As much as we loved him in the Fifty Shades franchise as the dashing Christian Grey and feared him as serial killer Paul Spector in The Fall, the general consensus is that we haven't got enough of him in more recent months.

But luckily, our Dornan drought is coming to an end as he is set to star in upcoming thriller The Tourist, an unsettling drama set in the Australian outback.

The official BBC synopsis reads: "A British man who finds himself in the glowing red heart of the Australian outback is being pursued by a vast tank truck trying to drive him off the road.

"An epic cat-and-mouse chase unfolds and the man later wakes in hospital, hurt, but somehow alive. Except he has no idea who he is.

"With merciless figures from his past pursuing him, The Man's search for answers propels him through the vast and unforgiving outback."

Sounds intriguing...

Jamie will lead the series as 'The Man', while Unbelievable star Danielle Macdonald joins him as probationary constable Helen Chambers.

Lord of The Rings star Hugo Weaving has been cast to play Agent Lachlan Rogers, a tough and highly regarded detective inspector leading the Major Crime Unit and Line of Duty's Shalom Brune-Franklin will star as Luci, a local waitress who gets swept up in the chaos.

The Tourist is almost guaranteed to be a huge hit when it finally lands, with the new series coming straight from writers and brothers Jack and Harry Williams. The pair were also behind unmissable thrillers The Missing and its spin-off, Baptiste.

It'll be a little while before The Tourist hits our screens as the drama has yet to officially go into production - but we're sure it'll be worth the wait...
