Netflix's Little House glimpse

Netflix has released the first teaser for its new *Little House on the Prairie* series and set the premiere for July 9. (netflix.com) Netflix said the show stars Alice Halsey as Laura Ingalls, Luke Bracey as Charles Ingalls, Crosby Fitzgerald as Caroline Ingalls, and Skywalker Hughes as Mary Ingalls. Tudum described the adaptation as a reimagining of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books and said all episodes of Season 1 arrive on July 9. (netflix.com) The teaser opens with Laura’s narration and shows the Ingalls family leaving Wisconsin, traveling west, and settling into prairie life with their dog Jack, a fiddle, campfires, and tense encounters with strangers. Netflix said the first season is inspired by *Little House on the Prairie*, the third book in Wilder’s series. (netflix.com) Netflix ordered the project in January 2025, with Rebecca Sonnenshine attached as showrunner and executive producer. Trade reports at the time said CBS Studios and Anonymous Content Studios were producing the series for Netflix. (variety.com) The new version draws on books Wilder published starting in the 1930s, based on her childhood in the American West in the 1800s. Those books were previously adapted into the NBC series that ran from 1974 to 1983. (netflix.com) Netflix has already renewed the show for a second season before the first one debuts. Jinny Howe, Netflix’s head of United States and Canada scripted series, said on March 3 that the company was renewing the adaptation ahead of its July launch. (netflix.com) Netflix is also leaning on the franchise’s existing audience as it rolls out the reboot. Tudum said the original series logged 13.25 billion minutes of viewing in 2024, citing Nielsen. (netflix.com) The teaser gives viewers their first sustained look at how Netflix plans to pitch the series: a family drama built around westward migration, hardship, and home, with the Ingalls family at the center. The next marker is July 9, when the streamer says the full first season lands. (netflix.com)
