Little House on the Prairie, based on the Laura Ingalls book series by the same name, has been making itself cozy in between Netflix's titles. Leaving behind the first ever adaptation that aired between 1932 and 1971, Netflix's beloved collection is, too, focused on Ingalls' childhood and early adulthood in the Midwest with her family from 1872 to 1894. While NBC’s adaptation set out with Michael Landon, Karen Grassle, and Melissa Gilbert, Netflix has brought in faces familiar with the 21st century.

In January 2025, Netflix announced a reboot of this nostalgic drama and novel series with a new cast, set to release in July 2026.

With the announcement of the reboot of Little House on the Prairie in 2025, Netflix also announced the cast for the new version. Alice Halsey plays Laura Ingalls, Crosby Fitzgerald plays Ma (Caroline Ingalls), Luke Bracey plays Pa (sometimes known as Charles Ingalls), and Skywalker Hughes plays Laura's older sister, Mary. 

Luke Bracey is, in fact, already a familiar face from Netflix’s Holidate (2020) with Emma Roberts. He has also appeared in The November Man (2014), The Best of Me (2014), and Hacksaw Ridge (2016). Crosby Fitzgerald was last seen in The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox (2015) with Grace Van Patten in the main lead. Her latest release is Crime 101 with Chris Hemsworth, Monica Barbaro, Barry Keoghan, Halle Berry, and Mark Ruffalo.

Alice Halsey is famous for playing Rachael Black on the television series Days of Our Lives. She previously appeared in the Apple TV+ show Lessons in Chemistry (2023). Skywalker Hughes’ most recent project was In the Blink of an Eye (2026) with Kate McKinnon. She has also appeared in Ordinary Angels (2024) and Joe Pickett (2021).

Ahead of the reboot's release, Netflix has given an update that spans across seasons, in fact. 

Even before the premiere of the first season of the show, set for July 9, 2026, Netflix has announced a second season for Little House on the Prairie. The showrunner and executive producer for the show will be Rebecca Sonnenshine. Trip Friendly of Friendly Family Productions, Dana Fox, Susanna Fogel, and Joy Gorman Wettels of Joy Coalition will also serve as executive producers. Anonymous Content Studios and CBS Studios will also be part of the production, along with Netflix.

“I’m incredibly grateful to our wonderful cast and crew, who put their hearts and hard work into making our first season come alive,” showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine said in a statement. She further expressed her delight to be able to present a fresh take on Little House on the Prairie on Netflix.

The show and its cast seem ready to once again captivate audiences with the classic tale of Laura Ingalls. However, while even its first unveiling is awaited by Netflix, familiarizing with the cast faces is bound to prep any viewer to the point of intrigue for Little House on the Prairie.
