Stieg Larsson's novel "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is getting another adaptation, this time for the small screen. A new series is being developed at Sky with Steve Lightfoot ("The Punisher", "Behind Her Eyes", "Spider-Noir") and Angela LaManna ("The Haunting Of Bly Manor") set to write and executive produce. The eight-episode series will be produced by Left Bank Pictures's Andy Harries, Charlotte Moore and John Phillips, alongside Sam Hoyle for Sky, Amy Pascal, and Scott Rudin.
The book follows disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist and hacker Lisbeth Salander as they investigate the mysterious disappearance of a girl from a wealthy family 40 years earlier. The show will bring the story into the present, grounded in the characters and investigative DNA of Stieg Larsson's "Millennium" novels, with themes that carry heightened relevance today.
Production will begin in Lithuania this spring. The series will be available on Sky in the UK, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. Sony Pictures Television will handle international distribution with pre-sale efforts already underway in the United States.
Larsson completed three novels in the series before his death in 2004: "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo", "The Girl Who Played With Fire", and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest". David Lagercrantz then took over writing the novels and published "The Girl in the Spider's Web", "The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye", and "The Girl Who Lived Twice". Karin Smirnoff recently took over the series, publishing the books "The Girl in the Eagle's Talons" in 2022 and "The Girl with Ice in Her Veins" in 2024. The books have sold more than 100 million copies combined worldwide.
Amazon was also working on a series based on "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", but the project never moved forward. The first three books were previously adapted into a trilogy of Swedish films starring Noomi Rapace and Michael Nyqvist. David Fincher directed an American adaptation of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" starring Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig. In 2018, Claire Foy" starred in an adaptation of "The Girl in the Spider's Web".
