LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE Reboot Is Coming to Netflix

by

2025 will mark the continuation of the 2020s reboot trend, with “Little House on the Prairie” being the latest property to receive this treatment. Originally airing from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, the show chronicled the traditional and Christian Ingalls family who resided on a farm in rural Minnesota during the late 1800s. For those not familiar, the series was based on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s popular book series of the same name and garnered significant viewership for its live-action adaptation. Now, “Little House on the Prairie” is poised for a revival at Netflix.

As reported by Variety, Rebecca Sonnenshine, known for her work on “The Boys” and “Archive 81”, has been named executive producer and showrunner of the upcoming series. This selection is intriguing given the current tumultuous state of our world and the persisting efforts to promote traditional or old-fashioned values, which often strive to confine individuals into heteronormative societal roles in the name of preserving religious norms that not all people adhere to. The original series did address church, faith, and similar topics, even when delving into contentious issues within its portrayal of an idealized nuclear family.

As a fan of “Little House on the Prairie,” I can’t help but feel a bit apprehensive about the reboot. While I appreciate the idea of exploring new, more liberal perspectives, it might lose the authenticity that makes this story so endearing. It could be fascinating to watch a period drama that dares to push boundaries, surprise us, and question societal norms of the time. Frankly, it’s essential for people today to understand the realities of homesteading, as many seem drawn to the idea nowadays. Time will tell whether Sonnenshine’s guidance steers the reboot towards tradition or innovation.

Anyway, here’s the official logline for this series: 

This new take on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved ‘Little House’ series, blending elements of heartfelt family sagas, gripping survival narratives, and origins of the American West, provides a vibrant perspective on the challenges and victories experienced by pioneers who molded the frontier.

Absolutely, with this latest approval, we don’t have many updates for now. In the meantime, fans eager to catch up on the original series can do so on Peacock.
