Misty Copeland just reminded Us that a basic black top doesn’t have to feel, well, basic. With the right silhouette and styling, the closet staple can look polished, elevated and far more expensive than you’d expect. Her latest outfit is all the inspiration needed to trade an everyday tee for something with a little more texture.

Copeland was spotted in New York City on Aug. 25 wearing an oversized black knit top with a sparkly black skirt, pointed-toe pumps and a sleek leather bag. The slouchy silhouette gave her monochromatic outfit a relaxed feel, while the knit texture made the simple staple look instantly more elevated. While we couldn’t pin down her exact top, we found a similar style on Amazon for just $24.

The Saodimallsu Short Sleeve Cropped Knit Sweater captures the same relaxed, expensive-looking feel as Copeland’s top. It has a drapey drop-shoulder silhouette, ribbed knit texture and rolled hem that make it feel like a major step up from a standard black tee. Better yet, it’s the kind of versatile piece that works now and can stay in rotation straight through fall.

Kylie Jenner was put on the spot by her two children during a chaotic family Q&A, and she did not entirely avoid choosing a favorite sister. The 29-year-old beauty mogul appeared in a new YouTube video alongside daughter Stormi and son Aire, answering questions about the Kardashian-Jenner family and her personal life. While Stormi attempted to keep the interview moving, Aire appeared less impressed, yawning through some of his mother’s answers before eventually wandering away from the camera.

One question forced Jenner to choose between her four sisters, Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian and Kendall Jenner. The Kylie Cosmetics founder initially explained that she does not like to “pick favorites.” However, when asked to select a “favorite of the day,” she ultimately chose Kendall.

Kendall is the only one of Kylie’s sisters who shares both of her parents, Kris Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner. Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé are Kylie’s older maternal half-sisters from Kris’ marriage to the late Robert Kardashian.

You can watch the full interview on YouTube.

Kendall may have received the biggest compliment during the Q&A, but Kim did not escape without being teased. When Jenner was asked which member of the Kardashian family has the worst dance moves, she selected her famous older sister. “Probably your auntie Kiki,” she said, using Kim’s family nickname. “I think she’d be okay with me saying that.”

Jenner shares both children with her former partner Travis Scott. The pair have continued co-parenting following the end of their romantic relationship.

Kylie Jenner Recently Addressed Pregnancy Rumors

5

The family Q&A arrived shortly after Jenner responded to speculation that she and boyfriend Timothée Chalamet could be preparing to welcome a child together. The couple made their romance public in September 2023 when they were photographed kissing during a Beyoncé concert.

Nearly three years later, Jenner and Chalamet have continued facing rumors about their relationship and possible plans to expand their family. Jenner said she has become accustomed to people constructing stories about her life without waiting for confirmation.

“I think that I’m so used to people creating their own narrative that I actually have to just laugh about it and I really don’t care, because I just assume people will figure it out eventually, which is what they always do,” she said.

The reality star specifically acknowledged seeing claims that she was pregnant. “People think I’m pregnant right now, at least I saw some things, and I’m like, Well, I’m not gonna address everything, ’cause it’s like, I’m gonna be in a bikini somewhere or I’m gonna be out and the rumors will be squashed,” she added.

Reality Star Does Not Feel Pressure To Address Every Rumor

5

Jenner discussed the pregnancy speculation while appearing on the “Better Half” podcast hosted by her longtime friends Victoria Villarroel and Anastasia “Stassie” Karanikolaou. She explained that responding to every claim would become exhausting, particularly when many rumors eventually disprove themselves. “So I kind of just don’t feel the need to say anything ever,” she declared.

Jenner said she prefers laughing at the speculation instead of treating every internet theory as something requiring a public statement. “I’m just like, well, it is what it is. I can’t comment on everything so I just laugh about it and join in on the party,” she said with a chuckle.

Jenner has also previously spoken about whether she wants more children, admitting that carrying another baby currently feels difficult to imagine.

Kylie Reportedly Helped Connect Kendall With Jacob Elordi

5

Jenner’s selection of Kendall as her temporary favorite comes after reports that she may have played matchmaker for her sister and actor Jacob Elordi. Kendall and Elordi were rumored to have been romantically involved after allegedly being spotted together at Justin Bieber’s Coachella afterparty.

Deuxmoi reported that the pair were “making out and all over each other” at the event. However, neither Kendall nor Elordi publicly confirmed a relationship in the material provided.

An insider later claimed they had been dating since early February and that Kylie encouraged the connection after spending time around Elordi during awards season. “Kylie was around Jacob a lot during Timothee’s award season marathon because Jacob was nominated for Frankenstein and Timothee was nominated for Marty Supreme,” the source told the Daily Mail.

The insider characterized Jenner as the driving force behind the rumored pairing. “Kylie is the alpha sister and pushed Kenny to start a romance with Jacob because she wanted to set up double dates with Timothee,” the source claimed.

“Kenny’s house is where all the parties happen, a lot of action there, so the four of them got close there,” the insider added, claiming that “Kenny found out she just clicked with Jacob… there was chemistry.”

Gal Gadot first portrayed Wonder Woman in 2016’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” The following year, she appeared in the character’s first big-screen solo movie, which became a massive box office success. However, after the poorly received 2020 sequel and several other appearances as the character, it was reported in 2023 that the planned third film would not move forward. Years later, the actress is shedding light on her exit.

5

Gadot appeared on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast in August 2026, speaking to host Josh Horowitz for nearly an hour about everything from “The Fast and the Furious” to her turn as Wonder Woman in multiple DC Studios projects.

During the conversation, she was asked if there had come a time when she had to “let go” of the character, perhaps after being told by either Peter Safran or James Gunn that her movie would not move forward into production.

She responded, “No, they told me the opposite.” Gadot continued, “They were like, ‘We’re going to develop it with you, the third la la la.” After that, the actress stated that she “saw how everybody else was handled.” This then led Horowitz to mention “the Henry situation,” calling it “unfortunate.” For context, Henry Cavill believed he would continue playing Superman before later being replaced by David Corenswet.

Gadot added, “The Henry situation was not handled elegantly, to say the least. Same with Patty [Jenkins] was not handled elegantly. Notably, Patty Jenkins directed the first two “Wonder Woman” films and had been tapped to helm the third before it stalled.

Gal Gadot Is Still Grateful To Have Played Wonder Woman

5

Gadot continued discussing her “Wonder Woman” exit, revealing that she’s moved on from the situation but still has immense respect for the beloved superhero.

According to her, “I feel like, you know, we’re all adults and it’s all good, and it’s not even about them. They are there, and they are there to do what they believe in.” From there, she noted how “grateful” she was to have had the chance to “wear these boots and to have the character be so celebrated.”

After that, she spoke about the rumored ongoing casting for the role. Gadot said, “And I can only wish for whoever it’s going to be to really come pure to this journey,” before noting the high regard many hold for Wonder Woman as a character.

She added, “Really use it respectfully and bring all the love and light it can to this world and then enjoy the ride.”

It Was Reported In 2022 That ‘Wonder Woman 3’ Would Not Happen

5

Warner Bros. first announced plans for a third “Wonder Woman’ movie in late 2020. However, two years later, on December 7, The Hollywood Reporter shared news that the planned movie had been canceled. This came after the famed director had reportedly recently submitted her treatment for the film to the studio.

However, despite the unconfirmed cancellation, Gadot spoke to Flaunt in August 2023, revealing that, as she said during the recent “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, Gunn and Safran planned to develop the third film with her.

She said at the time, “I was invited to a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran, and what they told me, and I’m quoting: ‘You’re in the best hands. We’re going to develop Wonder Woman 3 with you. [We] love you as Wonder Woman–you’ve got nothing to worry about.’”

Gadot added, “Time will tell.”

Gal’s New Movie Arrives In September

5

Gadot has appeared in several films since her last portrayal as Wonder Woman, including 2025’s live-action “Snow White.” Now, her new movie, “The Runner,” is set to arrive on Prime Video on September 2. The action thriller was directed by Kevin Macdonald and also stars Damian Lewis and Alfred Enoch.

In the upcoming film, Gadot plays a high-powered London attorney whose son becomes a victim of kidnapping. She is then given strict guidelines and must run across the city to save the boy.

The Actress Is Open To More ‘Fast And The Furious’

5

Gadot also discussed her role as Gisele Yashar in “The Fast and the Furious” while on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, including the character’s apparent on-screen death. Regarding her initial reaction to the death scene, the “Wonder Woman” alum said, “I was thinking she was gone for good.”

When asked if she’d be open to appearing in the upcoming film in the franchise, she said, “Would love to. I think that this became such a cultural event. Like, wherever I travel to in the world, people talk to me about ‘Fast and Furious.’ It’s amazing how loved this franchise is.” She then called potentially returning “a full circle.”

Regarding the upcoming movie, Vin Diesel hopes for filming to begin by December 2026.

In a year full of surprise breakthroughs and unexpected blockbusters, Is God Is still managed to slip through the cracks. The dramatic action/thriller, released at the same time as the year’s triumphant indie cinema success story, Obsession, marked the debut of writer-director Aleshea Harris, who updated the classic Quentin Tarantino-style bloody revenge saga for 2026. Despite being overshadowed by Curry Barker‘s word-of-mouth sensation, Is God Is, now available to stream on Prime Video and MGM+, where it is among the top 10 most-streamed films, is ready to be your next indie darling and cult classic. Harris, who adapted her own stage play for the screen, tells the story of tight-knit bonds between sisters, family trauma, feminism, and Black history. As both a gritty exploitation thrill-ride and a somber study of pressing cultural issues, Is God Is — which also features an impressive cast of both newcomers and established stars — is a true one-of-one.

‘Is God Is’ Updates Quentin Tarantino’s Revenge Thriller Formula

It’s no secret that Quentin Tarantino cribs heavily from other films and filmmakers, but his style has become so iconic and recognizable that various tropes that originated in ’70s exploitation thrillers have now become his own. Today, anything that echoes classic spaghetti Westerns, kung-fu, and samurai movies is viewed as a blatant Tarantino homage. Is God Is, which stars Kara Young and Mallori Johnson as Racine and Anaia, twin sisters who, at the behest of their mother, set out to take vengeance against the abusive father who started the massive fire that injured them both, channels the bloodthirsty revenge plots of Kill Bill, Inglourious Basterds, and Django Unchained. The film, which also stars Janelle Monáe, Erika Alexander, Sterling K. Brown, and Vivica A. Fox (with the latter two playing the twins’ parents), features many of Tarantino’s heightened stylistic flourishes, including split-screens, creative needle drops, garish and fantastical scenes of violence, and spurts of black comedy.

While Tarantino often stumbles when examining race relations, Is God Is not only tapped into the Black experience and created by a bold Black artist; it is also an ideal feminist text in 2026. Playwright-turned-filmmaker Harris confronts the ugliness of long-standing family oppression head-on by infusing this rage with genre sensibilities, making a grimy but surprisingly warm thriller that honors the classic blaxploitation subgenre. This combination of sincere family melodrama and lurid violence speaks to contemporary love-and-hate sensibilities, as Racine and Anaia, one outgoing and one timid, reckon with their troubled past in order to pave the way forward for a prosperous future. Part of Tarantino’s enduring legacy is his ability to strike a fine line between cynicism and unconventional optimism, and Harris uses this easily adaptable cinematic formula to craft a wholly immersive experience.

‘Is God Is’ is a Revelatory Directorial Breakthrough

When a playwright turns to feature filmmaking, the product is often indicative of that drastic transition. Rather than adapting to the new medium, they often play to their strengths by applying the confines of theater to maintain their work. Aleshea Harris, however, capitalizes on the freedoms of the film form, utilizing every flashy trick in the book, from altering color grades to intense close-ups, to enhance the theatricality of her script. Luckily, Harris’ style is substantive, as it channels the twins’ harrowing trauma into a transgressive odyssey that sees them leaving behind a trail of bloodshed in search of their father, referred to as “the man.” Other flourishes, such as elliptical sound designs and glossy canted angles, create a discombobulating experience, and the film never lulls, even at its most meditative.

The anchor behind Is God Is — and its most endearing quality — is the dynamic between the sisters, played with excellent dramatic range by Kara Young and Mallori Johnson. Wholly believable as twins, their chemistry is evident from minute one, as their rapport dates back to the haunted, unconventional childhood that forced them into adulthood far too young. Young and Johnson perform much-needed banter that drives the film’s dark comic edge, and the dichotomy between Racine’s gregarious attitude and Anaia’s emotional distance is integral to their characters’ origins. While they are both severely scarred by the fire, Anaia’s face was disfigured, which understandably makes her more self-conscious. This distinction not only increases the severity of one character’s journey, but it also spotlights beauty standards for women and the agonizing effect they can have.

Is God Is didn’t leave a huge dent at the box office due to a crowded release schedule that didn’t suit its growth. However, 2026 has shown that audiences want something familiar but new, and Aleshea Harris’ electrifying revenge thriller certainly reaches that threshold.

Justin Bieber is giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at Finneas O’Connell and Claudia Sulewski’s wedding.

The “Baby” singer, 32, took to Instagram on Sunday, August 30, to share a handful of selfies with wife Hailey Bieber as the pair celebrated their friends’ nuptials outside. Hailey, 29, wore a green low-cut dress as she held a cream-colored parasol in one hand and a glass of wine in the other.

In two of the snaps, the model appeared to be chatting with someone off-camera, while the third photo featured the entrepreneur flashing the popular early aughts duck lips loop.

Justin, meanwhile, sported a black suit and matching sunglasses as he stared at the camera.

“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,” he captioned the post.

Finneas, 29, tied the knot with Sulewski, 30, at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California, on Saturday, August 29. Other celebrity guests included Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard, Jason Sudeikis, Nina Dobrev, Rachel Sennott, Emma Chamberlain and Stassie Karanikolaou. Finneas’ sister, Billie Eilish, officiated the ceremony.

Two weeks before Finneas and Sulewski’s wedding, Hailey and Justin were spotted attending the August 15 nuptials of Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns in Malibu. For that occasion, Hailey opted to wear a black column dress with jeweled and beaded embellishments.

Between their wedding date nights, the couple celebrated the 2nd birthday of their son, Jack Blues Bieber, on August 22.

“2 ❤️,” Hailey captioned an Instagram Stories photo of a plate full of pancakes topped with whipped cream.

The Rhode founder set the post to her husband’s song “Everything Hallelujah,” which features a line about Hailey and Jack.

“Mom and Dad, hallelujah/ Hailey, babe, hallelujah,” Justin sings. “Baby Jack, hallelujah / Oscar, Piggy, hallelujah / Brand new day, hallelujah / Brush my teeth, hallelujah / Take a swim, hallelujah / Everything hallelujah.”

“Just seeing this little human evolve before your eyes,” she told Interview Magazine in a Q&A when asked to name the “most exciting thing” about being a mom. “They grow so fast and they change so much and there’s always so much excitement. You’re watching them experience life for the first time, so you kind of feel like you’re experiencing it that way with them.”

She added that she worries “every day” about the world her son will grow up in.

That’s probably the most anxiety I have as a parent,” Hailey explained. “The world he’s growing up in is very, very scary and it feels so bleak, thinking about the future, with how things are going. But I just have to close my eyes and have faith. As long as he’s growing up in an environment at home that’s really loving and beautiful, that’s all that I can hope for.”

Just call her Miley, because the famed musician and beloved entertainer appears to be dropping Cyrus from her name. On social media platforms today, the “Hannah Montana” alum removed Cyrus from her profile and is now going by “Miley.” Although Cyrus didn’t explain the change, it appears to be her slow introduction to her next era.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed today, August 31, that Cyrus posted what appears to be cover art for her new musical era, her 10th studio album. In the caption, Cyrus wrote “MILEY” and dropped her last name from her social media username.

Cyrus’ last studio album, “Something Beautiful,” was released in May 2025 and debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart. It featured the singles “End of the World” and “Easy Lover.”

It came a little over two years after her 2023 release “Endless Summer Vacation,” which was a commercial success and included the international hit “Flowers.”

Cyrus hasn’t shared details about what appears to be her next album; however, she confirmed in a recent interview that she was working on new music.

“This album is a love story, but love stories are never one-dimensional. They’re always layered,” she said. “There is definitely a romantic thread weaving through it because, like all my records, it’s a reflection of where I am in my life. But this one feels especially meaningful because this feeling has stayed with me through multiple eras.”

“That’s something I hadn’t really experienced before,” she continued. “A peaceful kind of love has become a theme across my last three records. Not just the love I share with someone else, but the love I’ve found for myself.”

The chances Cyrus sings about her partner, Maxx Morando, are high, considering the pair got engaged last year. She spoke about the special moment during an interview with “Good Morning America” and said she was totally surprised.

And while she’s been open about her personal life since she was a kid, she said she’s approaching this next chapter with care. “The detail that I can share is that for us, our privacy and us kind of keeping it small has been something that I’ve been astounded that I’ve actually been able to have and being able to kind of have more choice,” she said.

According to a previous report from The Blast, Cyrus was recently honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and during her speech, the “Jaded” singer got choked up as she reflected on her career, which began when she was a young girl.

“This is where it gets me,” she said. “To my family, my future family, parents, my mom, my siblings, my friends, my collaborators, thank you for loving and supporting not only the choices that I make, but my fears, and then facing them with me.”

Cyrus said in a statement that she was grateful to be able to look back on “Hannah Montana” all these years later. “What started as a TV show became a shared experience that shaped my life and the lives of so many fans, and I’ll always be thankful for that connection,” she said. “The fact that it still means so much to people all these years later is something I’m very proud of. This ‘Hannahversary’ is my way of celebrating and thanking the fans who’ve stood by me for 20 years.”

Two important cast members, Emily Osment and Mitchel Musso, were absent from the special, though. While Osment, who played Lilly in the sitcom, said she was busy filming another show during the 20th anniversary’s production, she thanked fans for supporting the show all these years later.

Musso, meanwhile, wasn’t as gracious when he spoke about it, per The Blast, revealing on a podcast that he turned down the chance to appear because it “wasn’t presented correctly.”

“It’s too long of a wait to do it in a way that isn’t even close to, in my opinion, correct,” he continued, adding that the “kid in me” wanted Disney to do an original episode of a miniseries and was disappointed it didn’t work out that way.

Late Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell’s widower, Eldridge Toney, seems to be unveiling a new chapter years after her passing.

The “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” star was married to Toney in March of 2023, and they remained together for nine months until her tragic passing from adrenal cancer in December of the same year. 

Unfortunately, the situation of Cardwell’s passing embroiled her mother Mama June and her former husband, Michael Cardwell, in a nasty custody battle over the children.

Toney and his fiancée, Jessie English, have welcomed their first child together! Over the weekend, English shared the good news and gave a sneak peek of their new son, Walker Stone, on her social media.

“Walker Stone Toney has made his arrival on 8/28/26 at 1:49 pm, weighing 8 pounds exactly and measuring 20.5 inches. He is his daddy’s twin for sure,” she gushed. “We love him so much already!! Welcome to the world, sweet boy!!! ”

The couple shared the news of the pregnancy in January, and Toney raved about how happy he was to have a child after being a stepfather. 

US Weekly reported that he shared insight into their future together, saying he was confident he would be a good dad and opening up about their goal of owning a home together. 

Mama June Said Daughter  Anna Caldwell’s Death Was One Of The Hardest Things Ever 

While Toney celebrates his bittersweet milestone, the family continues to mourn Anna’s loss in their daily lives. 

In December last year, Mama June shared a long video talking about how difficult it was losing her daughter at the young age of 29.  She reflected on her struggles, sharing that people often assumed she wasn’t grieving because she wasn’t constantly posting about it.

“Just ‘cause I’m not on here boo-hooing doesn’t mean I don’t have bad days. Don’t mean I’m not a f—king emotional wreck half the damn time,” she wrote.

Mama June ended with a heartwarming request for fans to leave comments on the late reality star’s social media to keep her pages alive, saying she would have loved it because she loves the spotlight, per The Blast.

Mama June Struggled With Anna Caldwell Not Being There For Her Granddaughters

Anna’s death seems to have left a deeper void in Mama June’s life than the public can see. The reality star opened up about the challenges she faced raising her granddaughters following their mothers’ passing

The late reality star left behind her daughter, Kaitlyn, from a previous relationship, and Kylee, whom she shared with her ex, Michael Cardwell. 

She shared that one of the hardest parts of losing her daughter was watching her granddaughters struggle without their mother.

“Her just not being here for the girls, and a lot sh-t has happened,” Mama June lamented. “We also had to deal with Michael taking Kylee away from everybody here and moving to Alabama.” 

As a result, they had to stay in Georgia instead of leaving the state as planned. According to The Blast, Mama June keeps Toney in the girls’ lives because that’s what Anna would have wanted. 

Mama June Won Legal & Physical Custody Of Anna Caldwell’s Daughters

In September 2024, the long custody battle ended when Mama June won a major victory. 

According to The Blast, the court order stated: “Legal and physical custody of the minor child is to remain with Mama June.” 

Michael was also ordered not to visit Mama June and the late reality star’s daughter unless they asked him to. Kaitlyn had testified and asked to remain with her grandmother, and her therapist noted she appeared afraid to be separated from Mama June.

Mama June Stunned At NYC Event With New Slimmer Build 

Three years after the loss, Mama June has continually navigated life without her child. She recently made headlines with her stunning new, slimmer look at a New York City event. 

As reported by The Blast, she turned heads at the AMC Networks 2026 Upfront, in a shimmering dress, showing off her new slimmer build. 

The reality star once weighed 500 pounds before having gastric sleeve surgery in 2015. She eventually came down to 150 pounds. She has remained honest about her weight fluctuations since then, with her most recent appearance being the most noticeable. 

NBC News international correspondent Matt Bradley is speaking out after he was physically attacked while on assignment overseas.

“We’ve been covering settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank for years. But yesterday, we found ourselves on the menu,” Bradley wrote via Instagram on Sunday, August 30. “A group of masked settlers beat our team and pummeled the 51-year-old woman we were interviewing unconscious.”

While the journalist told his followers that everyone is now OK, “this is just one incident among an unprecedented surge in settler violence across the West Bank.”

During a report on NBC’s Sunday Today, Bradley shared video footage of the moment masked young men — in a gray vehicle featuring an Israeli license plate — armed with sticks and stones rushed to the scene.

According to Bradley, the unidentified individuals smashed their car windshield, hit the crew members with clubs and beat a Palestinian woman — an interview subject — named Aida Ahmed Abdalla until she was rendered unconscious.

“I’m safe. I’m recovering. I got hit twice on the arm,” Bradley told anchor Willie Geist. “Actually, every member of my team, including the producer, the cameramen and one of the drivers we were with, they all took hits, but we’re all recovering well.” (Abdalla is also recovering and has since been discharged from a local hospital.)

Geist described it as a “truly appalling attack” before expressing gratitude for the safety of his colleagues.

“Matt, I am glad you’re safe after what we should warn our viewers was an incredibly disturbing incident,” he said.

In an interview with NBC News, producer Lawahez Jabari hinted that the incident could have been much worse.

“Suddenly a car came to us,” she said after receiving medical care. “The settlers had sticks. I saw a gun, but they didn’t use the gun.”

Camera operator Khaldoon Eid, who lives in the West Bank, added, “We didn’t expect that — that they would come to attack. We were in the middle of a Palestinian area next to Palestinian houses.”

Sky has announced an eight-part adaptation of Larsson’s bestseller, and Punisher and Spider-Noir writer Steve Lightfoot and The Haunting of Bly Manor and Behind Her Eyes writer Angela LaManna have agreed to produce and write the show.

The series, produced by Left Bank Pictures, is set to begin shooting in Lithuania in 2027, with the casting details kept under wraps. Instead of remaking Fincher’s 2011 film as it is, the adaptation will bring the story to the present while staying true to the characters and investigative theme evident in all Larsson’s novels.

‘The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’ Was Always Bigger Than One Movie

Larsson’s novel throws a lot at the reader, starting with disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig), the disappearance of Harriet Vanger, a sprawling and deeply dysfunctional industrial family, decades of buried secrets, financial corruption, Nazi sympathies, violence against women and, eventually, a much larger conspiracy surrounding corrupt billionaire Hans-Erik Wennerström (Ulf Friberg). It ends with Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara).

All of this is a lot of narrative real estate to squeeze into a feature film, even one running nearly three hours. Fincher’s adaptation made the necessary cuts and emerged as a compelling, cold-blooded mystery, but the limitations of the format are obvious when compared with the book. The film has to move quickly through the Vanger family history and Blomkvist’s investigation while also establishing Salander as one of the most fascinating characters in modern crime fiction.

An eight-part series doesn’t have that problem, as television can let the mystery unfold at the pace a mystery this story actually requires. It can spend time with the Vangers before revealing what makes the family so rotten, and it can allow Blomkvist’s investigation to feel like an investigation rather than a series of increasingly ominous clues. Most importantly, it can give Salander room to exist outside the mechanics of the central case.

Eight Episodes Can Finally Build the Millennium World

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo isn’t really an isolated story; it’sthe first of Larsson’s three Millennium novels, followed by The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest. Together, they turn Blomkvist and Salander into the anchors of a much larger crime saga involving journalism, corruption, conspiracies and institutional abuse. The series has since continued under other authors, with additional Millennium novels expanding the world Larsson created.

Fincher’s film, by necessity, stops at the end of the first book’s central mystery. It gives audiences a beginning and an ending, but there’s little opportunity to establish the wider ecosystem that makes Millennium so compelling, but a television series can change that. Left Bank Pictures, the production company behind The Crown and Dept. Q, is taking on a property that naturally lends itself to recurring characters and long-form storytelling. Even if Sky’s first season remains focused on the events of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, eight episodes offer significantly more space to establish the world around Salander and Blomkvist.

David Fincher’s ‘Dragon Tattoo’ Isn’t Easy to Follow

There’s an irony to calling Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo a “forgotten classic.” Upon its release in 2011, not only did the film attract attention, but also Mara got an Academy Award nomination for her role as Salander and Fincher was nominated for an Oscar for best director. However, in comparison to Se7en, Fight Club, Gone Girl, Zodiac, and more, the film is not really recognized as one of Fincher’s remarkable films. Its intended continuation never materialized in the form originally envisioned, and the next film in the franchise, 2018’s The Girl in the Spider’s Web, moved on to David Lagercrantz’s continuation of the Millennium series with Claire Foy taking over as Salander.

The new Sky series, therefore, is a second chance at a story that has already proved surprisingly difficult to fit into Hollywood’s preferred two-hour box. There have been plenty of attempts. The Swedish films starring Noomi Rapace and Michael Nyqvist adapted Larsson’s first three novels, while an extended television version gave those stories considerably more room. Amazon also previously developed a Dragon Tattoo series centered on Salander with a new storyline, setting and characters, but that project never reached production.

Sky’s version is the one actually moving forward. Fifteen years after Fincher’s film, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo doesn’t need to compete with it. It can take the thing that worked and give the story something the film could never quite provide: time.
