Stan has announced that the second season of their hit thriller The Tourist, starring Irish actor Jamie Dornan, has begun shooting in Ireland.

The streaming giant celebrated the start of production by sharing a moody photo from one of the locations featured in the show: a stone cottage in a rural setting.

A clapper board – a device used in production – is also shown in the snap showing that the first day of filming was April 10.

In season one, Elliott (Dornan) wakes up in an outback hospital after an accident, with no idea what happened to him or why.

Season two picks up a year later as Elliott tries to get in touch with his roots, leading to complications with his family.
