Overview
- Sky has commissioned an eight-episode contemporary reimagining of Stieg Larsson’s novel, with Steve Lightfoot and Angela LaManna writing and executive producing for Left Bank Pictures.
- Production is scheduled to begin in Lithuania in spring 2026, with casting yet to be announced.
- The series will air on Sky in the UK, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, while Sony Pictures Television handles international distribution and U.S. pre-sales.
- Banijay asserts the TV and film rights reverted to it following the 2018 feature, challenging the Sky project produced by Sony-owned Left Bank.
- The dispute has been filed for arbitration, a process that could lead to a settlement or progress to court, as Sony, Sky, and Banijay decline public comment.
