Netflix's ‘Little House on the Prairie' Reboot Begins Filming, Drops First Photos of the New Ingalls Family Cast Together
Netflix has announced that 'Little House on the Prairie' is officially in production.
Originally written by Laura Ingalls Wilder during the Great Depression, 'Little House on the Prairie' is the semi-biographical look at Wilder's childhood growing up in the American Midwest between 1872 to 1894. The books were first adapted into the hit TV series by the same name, which ran from 1974 to 1983 on NBC. The new reimagined version of 'Little House on the Prairie' is said to be 'part hopeful family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story of the American West,' according to Netflix.
