It’s time to go back to Little House on the Prairie. The Ingalls family and the rest of Walnut Grove are coming to Netflix.

It’s Time To Go Back, Way Back

The original Little House ran from 1974-1983, and anyone who grew up in that era can attest to its popularity. The show was based on the books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Melissa Gilbert famously played Laura, affectionately known as “Half-Pint,” along with Michael Landon as “Pa,” Karen Grassle as “Ma,” and Melissa Sue Anderson as Mary (in later seasons, a young RHOBH Kyle Richards). The series depicted a hard-working family getting through life in the American Midwest in the late 1800s.

The reboot will be based on the third book in the series. Trip Friendly, the son of the original show’s producer, Ed Friendly, will be the Executive Producer. Rebecca Sonnenshine is the Showrunner. No details or date for the reboot have been released yet.

The original series is now streaming on Peacock and has become wildly popular once again.

Happy Returns?

Fans are wondering if Melissa Gilbert will reclaim her role as Half-Pint, but there is no word on that or on any of the original actors returning to the prairie. Emotions are mixed about the return of the Ingalls family. Some can’t wait for the new version, while others oppose their beloved characters getting a makeover.

One excited fan said, “I AM IN. I loved this show when i was a kid along with anne of green gables. And i read the books. Thanks Netflix! Now don’t make us wait 4 years…”

On the other end of the spectrum, another commented, “You know they’re going to ruin it,” while another remarked, “Re-Imagined classics are ALWAYS beyond bad.”
