'Little House on the Prairie' reboot sets release date, gets renewed

The highly anticipated reboot has announced not only a release date, but a Season 2 renewal.

The reboot of "Little House on the Prairie", the beloved '70s television series based on the book series by author Laura Ingalls Wilder, has set a premiere date – and has already been renewed for a second season.

Netflix announced in January 2025 that the show would receive a "reimagining" 50 years after it first premiered, with a fresh adaptation that is "part hopeful family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story of the American West."

The original series ran for nearly a decade, from 1974 to 1983, and famously starred Michael Landon, who was also a co-director, as Charles "Pa" Ingalls, Melissa Gilbert as Laura Ingalls, Karen Grassle as Caroline "Ma" Ingalls and Melissa Sue Anderson as Mary Ingalls.

Gilbert went viral shortly after the reboot was announced in 2025, snapping back at former Fox News host Megyn Kelly after Kelly warned Netflix not to "wokeify" the story.

"Watch the original again. TV doesn't get too much more 'woke' than what we did," Gilbert said in a post on Instagram. "We tackled: racism, addiction, nativism, antisemitism, misogyny, rape, spousal abuse, and every other 'woke' topic you can think of. Thank you very much."
