Origin of the "Millennium" tv-series

I've already checked out IMDb.com about my question, but didn't get a clear answer and even got more confused about it. I'm wondering whether the "Millennium" tv-series is based on the previous trilogy of the movies that were made in 2009, or if the tv-series is independent, and made entirely from scratch?

For example, when I open the "The Girl Who Played with Fire" movie page on IMDb, and scroll down to see its duration, I see that the runtime is "129 min | 183 min (TV)".

The first time is for the original movie, but what about the second one? What does "183 min (TV)" mean? Does this runtime include the "Millennium" tv-series? Does this mean the "Millennium" tv-series was created from the original and deleted scenes of the original movies that were cut from the movies? Or was the entire tv-series shot from scratch, and didn't the creators use any shots or scenes from the original trilogy?

As explained on Wikipedia

The Millennium TV miniseries is a compilation of the three Swedish film adaptations, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest with extended scenes, adding more depth in both the stories and the characters.

It was divided into 6 episodes total, with each episode of the series about 90 minutes long, making the television series about 110 minutes longer than the movies.
