The principal actors are Crosby Fitzgerald, Skywalker Hughes, Alice Halsey, and Luke Bracey, who will play Caroline, Mary, Laura, and Charles Ingalls respectively. Additionally, Warren Christie, Meegwun Fairbrother, and Jocko Sims will be part of the supporting cast.

In a new development, Rebecca Sonnenshine will take on the task of adapting Wilder’s novels, also assuming the role of showrunner. It has been confirmed that Sarah Adina Smith will direct the pilot episode. Filming for the project is scheduled to start this month in Winnipeg, Canada.

Sonnenshine expressed great excitement about our exceptional group of actors,” he said. “Every single one adds a unique touch to the ‘Little House’ world, ensuring that this tale resonates vividly with a fresh audience.

I developed a deep affection for these books at the age of 5, which ignited my passion to become both an author and a movie maker. It’s an immense honor and excitement for me to now be transforming these tales for a fresh readership.

Trip Friendly, the executive producer, shared: “For a long time, I’ve cherished the idea of preserving my father’s heritage by modernizing Wilder’s beloved American tales. My goal is to create a new interpretation that appeals to fans of both the books and the original show.

In the 1970s, the television network NBC ran a long-running historical drama based on Wilder’s novels, which spanned nine seasons and produced more than 200 episodes, concluding in 1983.
