More than three years since it was first announced, Amazon's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo TV show adaptation gets its first major update.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT After more than three years since it was first announced, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo television series has finally landed a showrunner. Based on the best-selling Millennium novels created by Swedish author Stieg Larsson, the series had previously been adapted into a Swedish film trilogy in 2009.
Per Variety, the long-gestating plans for a television adaption of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo are finally moving forward at Amazon MGM Studios with the announcement of Veena Sud as its new showrunner. No stranger to adapting foreign crime dramas, Sud had previously led AMC’s crime drama The Killing, which was itself an adaptation of the Danish series Forbrydelsen. She also wrote and directed the 2018 psychological horror movie The Lie, based on the German movie Wir Monster.
What Story Will The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo TV Show Follow? Given the show’s current working title, which honors the original English title of Larsson’s first book, audiences may naturally expect that this new adaption may return to the source material, retell a story that has already been adapted to the screen, and eventually move sequentially through each of the later novels.
Surprisingly, however, when The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo television series was first announced back in 2020, it was suggested that the show would follow an entirely original story centered on the character of the asocial computer hacker Lisbeth Salander, previously played by the likes of Noomi Rapace, Rooney Mara, and Claire Foy.
With 2018’s The Girl in the Spider's Web considered a box office bomb and largely failing to resonate with critics, perhaps this new approach will serve to breathe fresh life into the franchise. Sud has proven herself more than adept at translating foreign material into successful fare for English-speaking audiences, and with any luck her new The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series will overcome the issues of the series’ latest lackluster attempt.
