Set to premiere on July 9, 2026, Netflix also recently announced an early Season 2 renewal. Written during the Great Depression and first published in the 1930s, Wilder’s stories later inspired the hit TV series Little House on the Prairie, which ran for nearly a decade from the 1970s into the 1980s.
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.
Directing the episodes are Sarah Adina Smith (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms) for episode 101, Julie Anne Robinson (The Hunting Wives) for episdes 102 and 103, Kat Candler (Queen Sugar) for episodes 104 and 105, Erica Tremblay (Dark Winds) for episode 106, and Sydney Freeland (Reservation Dogs) for episodes 107 and 108.
“I always like to say that 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 and executive producer Rebecca Sonnenshine 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, tells stories to each other, tells stories about themselves.”
This adaptation broadens the narrative beyond the Ingalls family’s viewpoint, exploring their arrival on land they believed was “free” and their interactions with the Osage people who had lived on the prairie for generations. According to Julie O’Keefe, the show’s Osage cultural consultant, one key message was evidetnt early when speaking with people from the Osage Nation: “If you’re going to tell the story, then you need to tell both sides.”
