Adaptation of the famed autobiographical saga by Laura Ingalls Wilder, this reboot follows the day-to-day life of the Ingalls family, settled on a farm near Plum Creek and close to Walnut Grove in Minnesota, in the late 1800s.

The story is told through the perspective of Laura Ingalls, the central figure of the original work.
Netflix has released the first official teaser for the series, offering a glimpse of its visual direction and the more grounded tone the production is promoting.
The showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine is steering the series, produced by Joy Coalition and Friendly Family Productions, with Joy Gorman Wettels, Trip Friendly, Dana Fox and Susanna Fogel serving as producers. The main cast features Alice Halsey as Laura Ingalls, Luke Bracey as Charles Ingalls, and Crosby Fitzgerald as Caroline Ingalls. The lineup also includes Skywalker Hughes, Jocko Sims, Warren Christie, Wren Zhawenim Gotts, Meegwun Fairbrother and Alyssa Wapanatâhk.
Unlike the original series aired from 1974 to 1983, this reboot touts a more realistic and plural approach to the Far West, weaving in different cultural and social perspectives that the historical version left out. Netflix describes the series as a family saga blending survival drama, a historical chronicle, and an intimate look at a 19e century world fading away.
