Back in February, Stan and BBC One first announced they were making a new original series in South Australia. The Tourist, from Two Brothers Pictures, the producers of Fleabag, was being made in association with Lisa Scott’s Highview Productions and the South Australian Film Corporation. Production was planned to begin during 2020 but stalled for the usual 2020 kinds of reasons.
On Saturday, a fancy new announcement with lots of $ signs attached to it was made at the Adelaide Studios by Minister for Communications, Cyber Safety and the Arts, the Hon Paul Fletcher MP, and the Hon Steven Marshall MP, Premier of South Australia.
