The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Sud's promotion as showrunner is a welcome change of pace for the show, which has been in development since May 2020- though there was no showrunner reported to be working on the show. According to Variety, "It was originally reported to be a new standalone story about one of the novel’s main characters, Lisbeth Salander, but current plot details remain under wraps."
