Netflix's forthcoming reboot of Little House on the Prairie has announced its cast ahead of the series premiere on July 9. The reimagining of the classic 1970s television drama will draw from Laura Ingalls Wilder's original book series, with all episodes of the first season dropping on the streaming service this summer.
Alice Halsey, known for her role in Apple TV's Lessons in Chemistry, will portray Laura Ingalls Wilder. Luke Bracey takes on the role of Charles Ingalls, with Crosby Fitzgerald as Caroline Ingalls and Skywalker Hughes as Mary Ingalls. Additional cast members include Jocko Sims, Warren Christie, Meegwun Fairbrother, Wren Zhawenim Gotts, Xander Cole, and Alyssa Wapanatâhk.
Showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine emphasised the focus on women's perspectives in the adaptation. At a panel moderated by Deadline during the Bentonville Film Festival in June 2026, she stated that the series aims to explore how women shaped the American West, moving away from traditional masculine tropes. The narrative will also incorporate Osage characters, creating a parallel family to the Ingalls to provide insight into the Native American experience.
The first season chronicles the Ingalls family's move from Wisconsin to Kansas, as depicted in the original book. The teaser trailer, released recently, highlights the family's adventurous spirit and unity. The series is produced by Netflix and is described as a reimagining rather than a direct remake of the earlier TV show.
