Netflix today dropped a teaser video at their upcoming adaptaion of Little House on the Prairie, based on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s classic book series, which were based on her own experiences growing up in the 1800s American West. Set to premiere on July 9, 2026, Netflix also recently announced an early Season 2 renewal.
Writen during the Great Depression and originally released in the 1930s, Wilder’s books were later brought to life in the popular television series Little House on the Prairie, which aired for almost ten years spanning the 1970s and early 1980s. Part hopeful family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story of the American West, this new adaptation of the Little House books “offers a kaleidoscopic view of the struggles and triumphs of those who shaped the frontier.”
“This show is a love story about a family. They’re a family you want to be with, you want to know, you want to spend time with,” showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine (The Vampire Diaries) tells Tudum. “That’s really at the core of what Little House on the Prairie is about: a family that is there for each other, that tells stories to each other, tells stories about themselves.”
Little House on the Prairie stars Alice Halsey (Lessons in Chemistry) as Laura Ingalls, Skywalker Hughes (Joe Pickett) as Laura’s older sister, Mary, Luke Bracey (The Artful Dodger) as Pa, Laura’s father, and Crosby Fitzgerald (The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox) as Ma, Laura’s mother.
Additional cast are Jocko Sims (New Amsterdam) as Dr. George Tann, Warren Christie (The Watchful Eye) as John Edwards, Meegwun Fairbrother (Avatar: The Last Airbender) as Mitchell, Alyssa Wapanatǎhk (Peter Pan and Wendy) as White Sun, Wren Zhawenim Gotts (Echo) as Good Eagle, Xander Cole (People of the West) as Little Puma, Ryan Robbins (Riverdale) as Russell Kind, Michael Hough (Chapelwaite) as Eli James, Mary Holland (Nightbitch) as Jemma James, Maclean Fish (Shoresy) as Adam Scott, Kowen Cadorath (SkyMed) as Caleb, Thosh Collins (Echo) as Louis, and Rebecca Amzallag (Titans) as Lacey Aubert.
