Is there a Little House on the Prairie reboot trailer?

On April 13, the streaming service dropped a teaser trailer for the reboot. On June 11, Netflix released the official trailer. Check it out at the top of the page.

Who stars in Little House on the Prairie?

Netflix announced that 10-year-old Alice Halsey will be playing Laura Ingalls in the reboot. The role was originated by Melissa Gilbert, who was also 10 when she began starring on the show. Fans may recognize Halsey from Lessons in Chemistry, where she played Elizabeth Zott’s (Brie Larson) daughter, Madeline Zott. She was just 7 years old at the time.

The character of Laura is the “window into this adventure,” according to Netflix. “An American icon in waiting. Forget your modern ideas of childhood — the stakes are high for children living in the 19th century. They have responsibilities — and freedoms — that seem extraordinary in this era of helicopter parenting. Mixed in with small pleasures and petty disputes with her older sister are true feats of survival and bravery. She is observant, tender, strong-willed, hot-tempered.”

The description concludes, “She resists the bounds of 19th-century ladylike behavior — she likes to run barefoot and feel the sun on her face. She is curious and optimistic and fearless, like her father; resourceful and hardworking and honest, like her mother. She is quick to call out anyone who is cruel or unjust. She loves fiercely and unapologetically and is utterly devoted to her dog, Jack. She rubs some adults the wrong way — too many hard questions, too much personality, too much energy — but to the people who matter, she’s a bright light. She absorbs every detail she sees around her, collecting them for stories she will someday share with the world.”

Laura’s parents, Charles and Caroline Ingalls, will be played by Luke Bracey and Crosby Fitzgerald, respectively, per Deadline. Skywalker Hughes is playing Laura’s older sister, Mary. Casting for the younger Ingalls sister has not been confirmed yet.

The original series starred Michael Landon and Karen Grassle as the parents of the Ingalls family, Charles and Caroline, and Gilbert, Melissa Sue Anderson, and twins Lindsay Greenbush and Sydney Greenbush as daughters Laura, Mary, and Carrie.

Other cast members in the reboot include Warren Christie as John Edwards, Jocko Sims as Dr. George Tamm, Meegwun Fairbrother as Mitchell, Alyssa Wapanatâhk as White Sun, Wren Zhawenim Gotts as Good Eagle, and Xander Cole as Little Puma.

What is Little House on the Prairie about?

The show is based on the book series written by Laura Ingalls Wilder about a family living on a farm in Minnesota from the 1870s to the 1890s.

“Part hopeful family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story of the American West, this fresh adaptation of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s iconic semi-autobiographical Little House books offers a kaleidoscopic view of the struggles and triumphs of those who shaped the frontier,” the logline for the show says.

The reboot is expected to take inspiration from the books, rather than the original show. “It’s not really like a reboot, they’re not going back to Walnut Grove,” Alison Arngrim, who played Nellie Oleson, told ReMIND. “They’re not going to have Doc Baker and Miss Beadle, and they’re certainly not going to have Al Burton and all the people who were made up for the show. It’s going back to the books.”

Who is behind the Little House on the Prairie reboot?

Along with showrunner Sonnenshine, executive producers of the series include Joy Gorman Wettels for Joy Coalition, Trip Friendly for Friendly Family Productions, Dana Fox, and Susanna Fogel. Friendly’s father, Ed Friendly, produced the Little House television films and series that were broadcast on NBC from 1974 to 1984. Little House on the Prairie is produced by CBS Studios and Anonymous Content.

Is Little House on the Prairie renewed?

Yes, Netflix gave the reboot an early renewal for Season 2. The first casting announcement for the second season is already out: Willa Dunn will play Nellie Oleson in Little House on the Prairie Season 2.
