Netflix reveals ‘Little House on the Prairie' revival cast
Netflix has cast a new Ingalls family for its upcoming ' Little House on the Prairie ' revival. 'Lessons in Chemistry' up-and-comer Alice Halsey has taken the lead role of Laura Ingalls, who also serves as a narrator, in the new project. The 10-year-old actor shared her excitement about the casting on Instagram last week, noting that she loves 'all of the Little House books' in Laura Ingalls Wilder's semi-autobiographical book series. Luke Bracey ('Holidate') and Crosby Fitzgerald ('Palm Royale') have been cast as parents Charles and Caroline Ingalls in the nostalgia-inducing adaptation, while Skywalker Hughes ('Joe Pickett') is set to play their eldest daughter, Mary. In addition to starring opposite Emma Roberts in the 2020 holiday rom-com, Bracey has been involved in the reboot of 'Point Break' (2015), the musical biopic 'Elvis' (2022) and the psychological thriller 'Mercy Road' (2023). Meanwhile, Fitzgerald has been recognized for her appearances on ABC sitcom 'Abbott Elementary'(2021-present) and the PBS biographical drama 'The First Lady' (2022). Hughes is best known for her recurring role on the Western crime series 'Joe Pickett' (2021-23) and the drama 'Ordinary Angels' (2024), which also starred Hilary Swank and Alan Ritchson. The highly anticipated adaptation of the popular TV series was first announced by Netflix in January. Wilder's original book series was set primarily in the 1870s-90s, and the original show (1974-83) follows the Ingalls family as they travel from Wisconsin to Kansas to settle on the prairie. The streaming platform's new adaptation is helmed by showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine ('The Boys,' 'Vampire Diaries'). According to its tagline, the show will be 'part hopeful family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story of the American West.' It's unclear if any of the original show's cast is set to make appearances in the upcoming project. Melissa Gilbert, who originated the role of Laura Ingalls, told People Magazine in February that it's 'a conversation to be had another day, or maybe not. 'My knee-jerk reaction is that I think they should create their own whole universe,' she continued, 'and maybe not try and cross things over too much or cross the streams as it were.'

Netflix's LITTLE HOUSE OF THE PRAIRIE Reboot Casts Charles, Caroline, and Mary Ingalls — GeekTyrant
Netflix's upcoming Little House on the Prairie reboot has officially rounded out the core Ingalls family with the casting of Charles, Caroline, and Mary. Taking on the iconic role of Charles Ingalls is Elvis and Holidate star Luke Bracey. Stepping into the shoes of family matriarch Caroline is Palm Royale 's Crosby Fitzgerald. And playing Mary, the eldest daughter and contrast to her wild sister Laura, is Skywalker Hughes from Joe Pickett . They join Alice Halsey, previously announced as Laura Ingalls and narrator of the new series. The reboot comes from showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine ( The Boys , The Vampire Diaries ) and CBS Studios, is being described as 'part hopeful family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story of the American West.' Rather than trying to replicate the long-running 1974 series led by Michael Landon, this version begins when the Ingalls family is still relatively young with just two daughters, Mary and Laura, and leans more into the survivalist and emotional realism of prairie life. Bracey's Charles is framed as rugged and romantic, but layered. 'Bracey's Charles Ingalls won his wife's heart by carrying her three miles through the snow to a winter dance. He's a man who'd fit in seamlessly into the 21st century. 'Ruggedly handsome, charming, outgoing. A farmer and a trapper. A carpenter and an artist. A poet, a musician, a skilled storyteller. The original Girl Dad. He is an optimist, always glass half-full. But he is also a wanderer. A seeker. A man forever in search of greener pastures.' Meanwhile, Fitzgerald's Caroline is the kind of foundation that holds a family together through brutal winters and big dreams. 'Fitzgerald's Caroline Ingalls did not marry her husband out of convenience — they fell truly madly deeply in love. 'It was a great romance, and it still is. She's got a playful side, a romantic side, but at the end of the day, she's the one who keeps this family on track. Like moms do. She's quiet and patient and practical, but with a core of steel. 'She gave up her teaching career to have a family, but that yearning for independence never quite went away. Her marriage is one of equals — something rare in the 19th century. And though her trust in her husband is tested, the strength of their love endures.' As for Mary, Hughes will portray her as the emotional counterweight to Laura, a dynamic that promises tension and heart. 'Hughes' Mary Ingalls is Laura's older sister and polar opposite. A rule follower. Quiet and studious. 'Always angling to be the good daughter, the obedient one, the ladylike one, the prettier one. Other parents love Mary. Unlike her sister, she is uncomfortable in the natural world: the sun is too hot, the snow is too cold. 'She loves pretty ribbons and reading poetry and long afternoons of sewing. In other words, Laura and Mary are oil and water. Best friends and mortal enemies. They love each other deeply and hate each other intensely. But in the end, they always have each other's backs — there is no choice but to protect each other in this wild new landscape.' Executive producers on the show include Sonnenshine, Joy Gorman Wettels ( 13 Reasons Why ), Trip Friendly for Friendly Family Productions, Dana Fox ( Cruella ), and Susanna Fogel ( Booksmart ). Sarah Adina Smith ( Hanna ) is directing the pilot. The show is being produced by CBS Studios in partnership with Anonymous Content Studio. Filming kicks off this June in Winnipeg, Canada and if the show lives up to the promise of its creative team and cast, Netflix could have a new frontier classic on its hands. Source: Deadline

And now it leads to Matthew (Luke Wilson): her brilliant, charismatic, impossibly confident boss. But Matthew's also married: to the long-suffering Sophie (Heather Graham), and so the ensuing affair must remain a secret. 'Helen thinks confronting Matthew will solve the problem, but when he turns up at her doorstep – dishevelled, crying, and with all his worldly possessions – having dumped Sophie, Helen realises she's stuck living with a middle-aged baby, a self-obsessed man with arrested development who's spectacularly falling into a mid-life crisis, and who has a hell of a lot of bad habits.' Costa Rican filmmaker Hernán Jiménez adapted the script and will direct. The film follows his Netflix romcom Love Hard, starring Nina Dobrev. Jiménez's credits include the screenplay for Amazon's A Million Miles Away, starring Michael Pena. Leslie Morgenstein and Elysa Koplovitz Dutton will produce through Alloy Entertainment.

Jenna Ortega's ‘Winter Spring Summer Or Fall' Is New On Streaming
Jenna Ortega and Percy Hynes White's romantic drama Winter Spring Summer or Fall is new on digital streaming on Friday. Read on to find out how you can where you can watch the film at home. Rated R, the official summary for Winter Spring Summer or Fall reads, "Remi (Ortega) has her future figured out — Harvard in the fall, making her parents proud, and following the path she's always expected to take. Then she meets Barnes (Hynes White), who lives for the moment and makes her question everything. 'As their love story unfolds through the summer, Remi faces a choice — stick to the plan she's always known or risk it all for a life she never saw coming?' Winter Spring Summer or Fall made its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2024. The film is directed by Tiffany Paulsen (screenwriter of Netflix's Holidate) from a screenplay by Dan Schoffer. Winter Spring Summer or Fall debuted digital streaming via premium video on demand on Friday, April 25, and is playing in theaters in limited release. The movie is listed for purchase only for $14.99 on a variety of digital platforms, including AppleTV+, Fandango at Home and Prime Video, with no digital rental options at this time. Winter Spring Summer Or Fall went into production not long before the release of Wednesday Season 1, so director Tiffany Paulsen said she didn't have the opportunity to see Jenna Ortega and Percy Hynes White in a scene together in what soon became a blockbuster Netflix series. Luckily, Paulsen recalled in a Zoom interview before Winter Spring Summer or Fall premiered at Tribeca, she instantly sensed how great Ortega and Hynes White were together on camera. 'It was magic,' Paulsen enthused. 'We were so over the moon that first day to go, 'Oh, my gosh. These two have lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry and how lucky are we to have this right now in this moment?' It was really special.' Paulsen noted that she not only loved the dialogue between her two leads, but the subtle moments in-between where you can tell that the wheels are spinning in their minds. 'The things that attract me to stories and romances especially are — and I'm a writer, first and foremost — those moments between the dialogue,' Paulsen noted. 'It's magical to watch those moments and see them coming alive and wondering what your characters are thinking. Both of them really captured that and built the silence with such interest.' Also starring Adam Rodriguez and Marisol Nichols as Remi's parents, Javier and Carmen, Winter Spring Summer or Fall is new on PVOD on Friday.
