A new Netflix adaptation of "Little House on the Prairie," featuring covered wagons and one-room schoolhouses, aims to connect the 19th-century frontier experience with contemporary notions of the American dream. Premiering Thursday, the series revisits the iconic Ingalls family as they settle the American frontier in the late 1800s.
The show follows Charles and Caroline Ingalls and their daughters, Mary and Laura, based on Laura Ingalls Wilder's semi-autobiographical books. This marks the latest adaptation, following the 1974 TV series starring Michael Landon as Pa and Melissa Gilbert as Laura. In the new iteration, Luke Bracey takes on Pa, with Alice Halsey portraying Laura.
