Classic 'Little House' Lives Again on Netflix

A new adaptation of 'Little House on the Prairie' is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on July 9, 2026, bringing the classic pioneer story to a new generation. The original Emmy-winning series, which chronicled Laura Ingalls Wilder's American pioneer life with her family, originally aired from 1974 to 1983. The cast of the upcoming revival expressed their hope that this new iteration will resonate with fans of both the books and the beloved original show.

This new Netflix series aims to be an extension of the established 'Little House' world. However, some differences are apparent when comparing it to the original television program. Notably, the character of Carrie Ingalls, present from the beginning of the earlier series, will not be featured in the first season of the Netflix adaptation. Additionally, the new show will introduce characters that were part of Laura Ingalls Wilder's books but were not depicted in the initial television series, including Dr. George Tann.
