Netflix is planning a reboot of the “Little House on the Prairie” series that was based on the books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. It’s an historic intellectual property with modern appeal, given that Nielsen recently revealed the 50-year-old television series had 13.3 billion minutes of viewing time on Peacock last year.

Netflix has ordered a Little House on the Prairie series, 40-plus years after a long-running adaptation of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved books aired its last episode on NBC. The new version comes from showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine ( The Boys, The Vampire Diaries ).

Best known for its TV adaptation starring Michael Landon, the Laura Ingalls Wilder book saga is getting a new lease on life from Netflix.

The streaming service is rebooting the long-deceased family frontier drama in what could be a new dawn for discarded TV shows of the 70s and 80s.

The long-gestating project from CBS Studios and Anonymous Content was first announced in 2020. According to Deadline, the Netflix series will follow the Ingalls family — Charles, his wife Caroline, and their children Laura and Mary — as well as characters from the Osage tribe the Ingalls family encounters in Kansas.

"Written during the Great Depression and first published in the 1930s, Wilder's stories were adapted into the hit TV series Little House on the Prairie, which ran for nearly a decade in the 1970s and into the '80s.

It’s time to head back to Walnut Grove 42 years later! According to a newly released Deadline article, Netflix has ordered a reboot of the beloved 1970s family drama Little House on the Prairie. This comes after the initial reboot announcement made by Paramount TV Studios and Anonymous Content in 2020.
