The synopsis says that the series "follows cancelled star journalist Mikael Blomkvist and uncompromising hacker Lisbeth Salander as they investigate the disappearance of Harriet Vanger, who vanished more than three decades ago from the secluded island home of one of Sweden’s most powerful industrial dynasties".
A release date for the series, which will be available to watch on Sky and NOW TV, will be confirmed soon.
