Rooney Mara in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"

Lisbeth Salander is coming to the small screen. Deadline reports Amazon is developing “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” a series centering around the the brilliant hacker and vigilante.

A co-production between Amazon Studios and Left Bank Pictures, in association with Sony Pictures TV, the project will be based on Stieg Larsson’s best-selling Millennium series. The show will bring back “the iconic and much-loved character Lisbeth Salander and place her in today’s world – with a new setting, new characters, and a new story that will resonate with fans of the original and thrill a whole new generation,” according to Amazon. A survivor of abuse with a passion for exacting vengeance on men who are abusive to women, Lisbeth’s story is timely, but the character’s creation pre-dated the rise of the #MeToo movement.

The Swedish film trilogy based the first three books of the series, “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” “The Girl Who Played with Fire,” and “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest,” features, respectively, Noomi Rapace and Tehilla Blad as Lisbeth as an adult and child. Rooney Mara took on the role — and earned an Oscar nod — in the American adaptation of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” and Claire Foy portrayed her in “The Girl in the Spider’s Web.”
