Alice Halsey, who played daughter to Brie Larson in Apple TV+'s Lessons in Chemistry, will fill the role of wee Laura Ingalls, while Skywalker Hughes (Joe Pickett) will play older sister Mary. Ruling the cramped roost as Ma and Pa/Caroline and Charles will be Crosby Fitzgerald (Palm Royale) and Luke Bracey (the Aussie star of 2015's Point Break remake).
As first reported by Deadline, Doss will recur as Emily Henderson, a charming woman who is good with people, and numbers, which helps her run the General Store.
Also filling recurring guest star roles will be Mary Holland (Ghosts' Patience) as Jemma James, a confident woman who has an air of big city and is the town's busybody; Michael Hough (Chapelwaite) as Jemma's husband Eli, who works for the railroad and is supportive of the newcomers arriving in town; Kowen Cadorath (SkyMed) as Caleb, a skinny, 'prairie handsome' pre-teen whom Emily offers a job at the General Store; Thosh Collins (Disney+'s Echo) as Louis, the good-natured of Alyssa Wapanatǎhk's White Sun; Maclean Fish (Shoresy) as Adam Scott, who is 'boyish and handsome but soft' (and probably about to get served papers by a Severance star); and Rebecca Amzallag (Titans) as Lacey Aubert, a beautiful and happily widowed outcast who owns a card room and bar on the edge of town.

‘Family Matters' star Jaleel White reacts to Malcolm-Jamal Warner ‘s ‘disturbing' death
Jaleel White is reeling from Malcolm-Jamal Warner's death. The 'Family Matters' alum, 48, spoke about the bond he shared with Warner after 'The Cosby Show' actor accidentally drowned at age 54 in Costa Rica on Sunday Sunday. 'Malcolm and I were industry peers,' White recalled to 'Extra' at the 'Happy Gilmore 2' premiere on Monday. 'I mean, really, I can't even say that. Like, I grew up looking up to him. He was ahead of me in the game.' 9 Jaleel White at Netflix's 'Happy Gilmore 2' premiere in New York City on July 21. Getty Images 9 Malcolm-Jamal Warner at a pre-Emmys party in Los Angeles in 2016. MediaPunch/INSTARimages 'I'm kind of waiting for more details to come out because it was just a very disturbing report, just accidentally this,' White continued. 'You kind of caught me at a loss for words and kind of reflecting on my own memories.' White and Warner starred in their respective sitcoms around the same time. 'Family Matters,' in which White played Steve Urkel, aired from 1989 to 1997, while Warner played Theo Huxtable on 'The Cosby Show' from 1984 to 1992. 9 Jaleel White as Steve Urkel in 'Family Matters.' ©ABC/Courtesy Everett Collection The pair also each worked with late actress Michelle Thomas, who appeared on both shows, and dated Warner, before she died of cancer in 1998. 'Malcolm was the first former child actor that my mother even let me go out with late at night past 11 p.m., and I had a very close relationship with both him and Michelle Thomas,' White said at the premiere. 'May they both rest in peace.' 9 Bill Cosby, Malcolm-Jamal Warner in 'The Cosby Show.' NBCUniversal via Getty Images White added of Warner: 'So, please remember him as a poet, a Grammy award-winning musician, and an actor who did a lot more than just star on a sitcom when he was a kid.' In his 2024 memoir 'Growing Up Urkel,' White recalled getting to know Warner at the time that Thomas joined 'Family Matters.' 9 The cast of 'Family Matters.' Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images 'Malcolm would visit the set from time to time, and on one given night after a live audience taping, Malcolm and Michelle invited me to join them at a music-industry party that went late into the evening,' White wrote. 'Off I went into the back seat of Malcolm's Mercedes as a happy third wheel. It never dawned on me to drink a drop of liquor that evening, as my mother would be waiting up for me the moment I walked in the door. Just being out late at night, feeling grown and independent was memory enough.' 9 Malcolm-Jamal Warner at the 12th annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 2009.

Costa Rican National Police told The Post that the actor was pulled from the water by people in the area and taken to shore, where they desperately attempted to save his life. Warner's body was taken to the morgue at San Joaquin de Flores for an autopsy, with his cause of death listed as asphyxiation by 'submersion,' police shared. 9 Malcolm-Jamal Warner at the 2023 Grammy Awards.

In 2021, Warner spoke to The Post about the NBC sitcom's legacy after Cosby's sexual assault conviction was overturned. 'I can understand why some people can't watch the show and enjoy it because of everything that's going on now,' Warner shard at the time. 9 The cast of 'The Cosby Show.' NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images 'But I think…there's a generation of young people who have pursued higher education or have started loving families because of the influence of that show. So it's kind of like, you can't discount its impact on television culture and American culture.' After Warner's death, Cosby's rep told The Post that Cosby had recently spoke to the late actor after a concert in Minnesota. Cosby also compared Warner's passing to losing his own son, Ennis Cosby, who was murdered in 1997.

Disney+ vs. Netflix: Is Disney Plus Better than Netflix?
Netflix boasts over 17,000 titles globally across movies, TV series, documentaries, anime, and international originals. Its library is diverse, constantly evolving, and highly localized depending on your country. Netflix is also known for licensing third-party content alongside its own originals. Disney+ focuses on quality over quantity, offering around 7,000 TV episodes and 500+ movies, but with some of the most iconic and beloved brands in entertainment. From the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe to Pixar classics and every Star Wars installment, Disney+ appeals strongly to families and franchise lovers. Verdict: Netflix wins for variety and volume. Disney+ wins for nostalgic and family-friendly content. Standard with Ads : $6.99/month : $6.99/month Standard (no ads) : $15.49/month : $15.49/month Premium (4K + extra members): $22.99/month Netflix also offers extra member add-ons at a fee, making account sharing more limited. With Ads : $7.99/month : $7.99/month Ad-Free : $13.99/month : $13.99/month Disney Bundle (Hulu + ESPN+): Starting at $14.99/month Disney+ also allows unlimited downloads for ad-free users, making it easy to download on Disney Plus and watch offline. Verdict: Disney+ is more affordable, especially when bundled. Netflix is pricier but offers broader content. Netflix sets the gold standard for user experience. It's available on virtually every device—smart TVs, game consoles, phones, tablets, web browsers, and streaming boxes. Its AI-driven recommendation engine and easy-to-navigate interface are fan favorites. Disney+ supports most major devices, though it may lag behind Netflix in terms of smart TV app optimization and user personalization. Still, it offers up to 7 user profiles and 4 simultaneous streams on its standard plan. Verdict: Netflix wins for refined UX and broader device support. Disney+ is close but still playing catch-up. With hits like Stranger Things , The Crown , Wednesday , Squid Game , and The Witcher , Netflix revolutionized streaming with its originals. It spends billions annually to develop fresh, exclusive content across genres and languages. Disney+ offers premium originals, but they lean heavily on existing franchises. The Mandalorian , Loki , WandaVision , and The Imagineering Story are hits—but fewer in number compared to Netflix's catalog. Verdict: Netflix takes the lead in volume and diversity. Disney+ wins for franchise continuity and cinematic quality. Netflix is available in over 190 countries, with regional content libraries and subtitles in dozens of languages. It's optimized for low-bandwidth usage in regions with slower internet. As of 2025, Disney+ is available in around 130+ countries, with steady expansion. However, content availability varies more than Netflix, especially in Europe and parts of Asia. Downloads are supported, but some users prefer third-party tools like a Disney Plus downloader to get around geo-restrictions or keep content permanently. Verdict: Netflix wins in global reach and localization. Disney+ is improving, but still behind. The final verdict depends entirely on your needs and preferences: You want a wide variety of genres and languages You're into international and adult-targeted content You care about cutting-edge original productions You want the best tech features and personalization You love Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and Nat Geo You're looking for family-friendly programming You want a budget-friendly bundle with Hulu and ESPN+ You want to download on Disney Plus and watch without Wi-Fi The Disney Plus vs Netflix battle is far from over. While Netflix maintains its global dominance in size and scope, Disney+ continues to rise with unmatched franchise power and a more affordable price point. If you're a family user or franchise fanatic, Disney+ delivers enormous value. If you're into cutting-edge, genre-diverse entertainment, Netflix is still the one to beat. Looking at Disney Plus subscribers vs Netflix, Netflix still leads with over 250 million global users, but Disney+ is catching up fast, with over 165 million and growing. Whichever you choose, both platforms are evolving fast—and the good news? You don't necessarily have to choose. Many users are opting to subscribe to both, taking advantage of the best from each world. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
