Netflix has released the first teaser for its new *Little House on the Prairie* series and set the show to premiere on July 9. (netflix.com) The teaser, published April 13, opens with Laura Ingalls naming “Pa, and Ma, and Mary, and Laura” as the family leaves Wisconsin for the prairie. Netflix’s Tudum site says Alice Halsey plays Laura, with Luke Bracey as Charles, Crosby Fitzgerald as Caroline, and Skywalker Hughes as Mary. (netflix.com) Netflix describes the series as a reimagining of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s semi-autobiographical books, with Rebecca Sonnenshine serving as showrunner and executive producer. *The Hollywood Reporter* reported that CBS Studios and Anonymous Content are producing the series. (netflix.com) (hollywoodreporter.com) The new adaptation arrives after Netflix had already committed to more episodes. On March 3, the streamer renewed *Little House on the Prairie* for a second season ahead of the first season’s debut. (netflix.com) That early renewal puts the project in a different category from a one-off nostalgia play. Netflix said the first season is inspired by *Little House on the Prairie*, the third book in Wilder’s series, while Sonnenshine said characters may also talk about life before the move west. (netflix.com) The source material has kept a large audience for decades. Netflix said the *Little House* books have sold more than 73 million copies in more than 100 countries and in at least 27 languages. (netflix.com) The television history is just as durable. Wilder’s books were previously adapted into the NBC series that ran from 1974 to 1983, and Netflix cited Nielsen data showing that version logged 13.25 billion minutes of viewing in 2024. (netflix.com 1) (netflix.com 2) The teaser itself leans on familiar *Little House* images: Laura running with Jack the dog, Charles playing fiddle by a campfire, and the family traveling by wagon into an uncertain future. By July 9, Netflix will find out whether that mix of frontier hardship and family nostalgia still travels to a new audience. (netflix.com)
