Netflix is bringing audiences back to Walnut Grove as the streaming service reboots the beloved stories of Laura Ingalls Wilder, Little House on the Prairie.

Based on Wilder’s own experiences growing up in the American West in the 1800s and first published in the 1930s, Wilder’s stories were adapted into the hit TV series that ran on NBC from 1974 to 1983. The stories centered on Laura Ingalls and her family as they navigated frontier life, faced hardship with resilience, and built a sense of community on the Dakota prairie. The new series, which is currently being filmed in Canada, will offer a completely fresh take on the classic stories and characters.

Now, a new generation of viewers will discover the joys of the Ingalls family, but who will guide them through their many adventures? Here is a look at how the new cast stacks up against the original ensemble and how each actor brings a fresh perspective to these beloved frontier characters.
