The Tourist returned for a second season on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on New Year’s Day 2024, continuing the amnesiac-thriller story from HBO Max’s original 2022 run. Composer Dominik Scherrer, who scored season one, returned to build on the show’s established sound rather than starting from scratch.

Score & Composer
Dominik Scherrer, an Emmy nominee, built the season two score around acoustic elements — solo strings, guitars, choir and percussion — that are then processed electronically, giving the music a diverse, unsettled texture that matches the show’s outback-noir tone. The score mixes original compositions with licensed songs and classical selections dropped into specific scenes, and the instrumental title track “The Tourist” continues to open each episode.

The Tourist Season 2 is available on BBC iPlayer in the UK and on HBO Max in the US. Scherrer’s score has been released digitally and can be searched on Apple Music and Spotify.
