AceShowbiz - Netflix has officially renewed its reboot of Little House on the Prairie for a second season ahead of the series’ premiere. The announcement came on Tuesday, signaling strong confidence in the drama even before it debuts on the streaming platform.
The new adaptation of the classic story, inspired by Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved book series, is set to premiere on July 9. This fresh take on the family drama explores the origins of life in the American West, with a talented cast leading the way.
The series stars Alice Halsey as the determined Laura Ingalls, alongside Skywalker Hughes playing her older sister Mary. The parental roles are filled by Luke Bracey as Pa and Crosby Fitzgerald as Ma, bringing new life to these iconic characters.
The original Little House on the Prairie aired on NBC starting in 1974 and captivated audiences for nine seasons. This reboot is produced by CBS Studios in partnership with Anonymous Content, with Rebecca Sonnenshine acting as showrunner and executive producer. She collaborates with executive producers Joy Gorman Wettels, Trip Friendly, Dana Fox, and Susanna Fogel.
Trip Friendly, whose father acquired the TV and movie rights to Wilder’s novels leading to the original NBC series, initially sold the reboot rights in 2020 to Paramount TV Studios and Anonymous Content. This continuity highlights the careful stewardship of the adaptation across generations.
"I'm incredibly grateful to our wonderful cast and crew, who put their hearts and hard work into making our first season come alive," Sonnenshine expressed. She added that they are eager to share this new version of the stories worldwide and are excited that Netflix has entrusted them to continue the narrative.
Jinny Howe, Netflix’s head of U.S. and Canada scripted series, commented on the renewal, praising the exceptional work of Sonnenshine and the cast. She highlighted the show’s hopeful tone and emotional depth as a strong foundation for future seasons. Howe stated the series is poised to deliver even more of what fans cherish about Little House on the Prairie.
With the early renewal secured, fans can look forward to more episodes following the July 9 launch, as Netflix positions this reboot as a key drama in its lineup.
