Larsson's Millennium novels were previously adapted into a series of Swedish films, while The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was also made into a 2011 Hollywood film directed by David Fincher and starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara.
That film starred The Crown's Claire Foy as central character, Lisbeth Salander, and now that role will be taken on by another The Crown alum.
In fact, it will be played by Viola Prettejohn, who played a younger version of Foy's Queen Elizabeth, as seen in season 6.
The eight-part series will be produced by Left Bank Pictures (The Crown, Dept. Q), and is described as a "timely evolution of one of the world’s most celebrated literary thriller franchises".
"As they delve deeper into the Vanger family’s buried past, their investigation draws them closer to a chilling threat unfolding dangerously close to them in the present."
The series is being written and executive produced by Amanda Coe (Apple Tree Yard), Steve Lightfoot (The Punisher) and Angela LaManna (The Haunting of Bly Manor), while Reinaldo Marcus Green (King Richard), Andrea Harkin (Time) and Amy Neil (Hostage) will direct, as filming commences next month in Lithuania.
"Our brilliant writing team, Reinaldo Marcus Green’s bold vision and our fantastic partners at Left Bank Pictures are creating a series that honours everything audiences love about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, while taking its characters, mystery and themes into a world that feels unmistakably of the moment. We can’t wait for audiences to experience it."
