Entertainment company Banijay Asia has signed a deal with distributor All3Media International, acquiring the rights to create a local adaptation, Variety.com reports.
Written by Harry and Jack Williams, “The Tourist” has Dornan playing a man who wakes up in Australia with amnesia after a near-fatal car accident.
"While searching for answers, he meets a local woman who remembers him and volunteers to help him rediscover his identity," the logline said.
The logline further stated: "The few clues he can find hint that he has a dark past that he must escape before it catches up to him."
In the show's second season, which launched earlier this year, the characters move to Ireland as the mystery deepens.
The original series was produced by Two Brothers Pictures and Highview Productions.
Mrinalini Jain, Group Development Director, Banijay Asia and EndemolShine India, said, “'The Tourist' offers a unique blend of mystery and suspense that we believe will resonate deeply with our viewers. “We are delighted to be able to offer Indian audiences an adaptation of such an exciting and internationally celebrated series.”
