Netflix is planning a fresh take on the beloved 1970s and 80s show *Little House on the Prairie*. While it’s a reboot, it sounds like this version will be quite different from the original.
The new show, just like the first one, is adapted from the beloved children’s books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. These books were based on Wilder’s own childhood experiences growing up in the American Midwest.
The new Netflix series isn’t just a continuation of the original; it’s been completely updated and reimagined for modern viewers.
What to Read Next
The show is a sweeping story that blends family drama, a thrilling fight for survival, and the history of how the American West was built. It promises a broad look at the challenges and successes of the people who settled the frontier.
The story centers around Laura Ingalls, a curious, truthful, and independent-minded character (played by Alice Halsey, known for her role in *Lessons in Chemistry*), and her family.
Rebecca Sonnenshine, who is adapting and showrunning The Boys, has shared how much Wilder’s original series meant to her as a child.
She shared with Tudum that she’s loved these books since she was a child. They sparked her passion for writing and filmmaking, and she’s excited to bring these stories to a new generation.
She’ll be an executive producer on the project, joining Trip Friendly (son of the original show’s producer, Ed), Joy Gorman Wettels (known for *13 Reasons Why*), Dana Fox (*Wicked*), and Susanna Fogel (*A Small Light*).
Friendly shared that he’s always wanted to continue his father’s work by updating Wilder’s beloved American stories for modern viewers, hoping to appeal to both book fans and those who enjoyed the original TV show.
I’m really excited to hear that Sarah Adina Smith – she’s directed episodes of *Lessons in Chemistry* and *Legion*, which are both amazing – is going to direct the pilot! I think she’s a fantastic choice.
Netflix is thrilled to bring a new version of the beloved story *Little House on the Prairie* to audiences worldwide, sharing its timeless messages of hope and positivity, according to Jinny Howe, Vice President of Drama Series at Netflix.
Rebecca’s take on the story beautifully captures the emotional heart of this classic, and will appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
