One year after the original TV series, based on the semi-autobiographical children's book series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, celebrated its 50th anniversary and reached over 13.25 billion viewing minutes on Peacock in 2024, Netflix has ordered a reboot of Little House on the Prairie.
Rebecca Sonnenshine (“The Boys,” “Vampire Diaries,” “Archive 81”) will serve as showrunner and executive producer on the new series. Joy Gorman Wettels of Joy Coalition will also executive produce along with Trip Friendly for Friendly Family Productions, Dana Fox, and Susanna Fogel. CBS Studios and Anonymous Content Studios will produce for Netflix. Friendly is the son of Ed Friendly, who executive produced the original “Little House on the Prairie” TV series.
“’Little House on the Prairie’ has captured the hearts and imaginations of so many fans around the world, and we’re excited to share its enduring themes of hope and optimism with a fresh take on this iconic story,” said Jinny Howe, vice president of drama series for Netflix. “Rebecca’s vision threads the needle with an emotional depth that will delight both new and existing fans of this beloved classic.”
I don't know if the series needs a reboot because it's such a classic. The only thing that makes me slightly optimistic about this is that Ed Friendly's son is working on it.
