Netflix has set its new *Little House on the Prairie* series to premiere on July 9 and released a first teaser for the adaptation. (netflix.com) The teaser and first-look images were published by Netflix’s Tudum site on April 13, 2026, and the trailer also appeared on Netflix’s YouTube channel. Netflix said the series is an eight-episode season. (netflix.com; youtube.com) Alice Halsey plays Laura Ingalls, with Luke Bracey as Charles Ingalls, Crosby Fitzgerald as Caroline Ingalls, and Skywalker Hughes as Mary Ingalls. Rebecca Sonnenshine developed the series and serves as showrunner and executive producer. (netflix.com) Netflix is adapting Laura Ingalls Wilder’s semi-autobiographical *Little House* books, not remaking the National Broadcasting Company television series that ran from 1974 to 1983. Tudum described the new version as a family drama, a survival story, and an origin story of the American West. (netflix.com; britannica.com) The first season draws from *Little House on the Prairie*, which Sonnenshine told Tudum is the third book in Wilder’s series. Wilder’s books were published between 1932 and 1943, with *The First Four Years* appearing posthumously in 1971. (netflix.com; britannica.com) Netflix has already renewed the series for a second season before the July debut, according to Tudum and trade coverage. That gives the company a multiseason bet on an American literary property with a long television history. (netflix.com; hollywoodreporter.com) The teaser spread quickly on X, where Netflix posted the clip through its official account, and entertainment outlets picked it up within hours. By April 15, coverage had framed the release as the first sustained look at how Netflix plans to present the Ingalls family on screen. (x.com; hollywoodreporter.com) For Netflix, the next marker is simple: July 9, when viewers will see whether this version of *Little House* lands as a new adaptation of Wilder’s books rather than a replay of the Michael Landon era.
