Alice Halsey as Laura Ingalls Taking on the lead role of Laura Ingalls, Alice Halsey brings youthful energy and emotional depth to the character. Known for her breakout role in Midnight Sun High, Halsey is expected to carry the emotional weight of the series with authenticity and grace.

Luke Bracey as Charles Ingalls Australian actor Luke Bracey, recognized from Hacksaw Ridge and Holidate, will portray the resilient and compassionate patriarch, Charles Ingalls. Bracey’s rugged presence and strong acting chops make him a compelling choice for the role.

Crosby Fitzgerald as Caroline Ingalls As the family’s moral compass, Caroline Ingalls will be played by Crosby Fitzgerald, who brings a grounded, nurturing quality to the character. Fitzgerald is known for her work in period dramas and is set to shine in this historical role.

Skywalker Hughes as Mary Ingalls Skywalker Hughes, a rising star from Joe Pickett, steps into the role of Mary Ingalls. With a talent for nuanced performances, Hughes is poised to capture Mary’s complex journey with sincerity.

Behind the Scenes: Visionary Talent Leading the Way

The reboot is helmed by showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine, acclaimed for her work on The Boys and The Vampire Diaries. Her experience balancing emotion, action, and rich storytelling makes her a fitting leader for this reimagined classic. The pilot will be directed by Sarah Adina Smith, known for visually stunning, character-driven narratives.

The show is set to begin filming in Winnipeg, Canada in June 2025, a location chosen for its authentic prairie landscapes and tax-incentive programs.

What Makes This Reboot Stand Out?

Unlike previous adaptations, this reboot promises a more faithful adaptation of Wilder’s original works, incorporating deeper historical context and more diverse storytelling. With updated social themes and period-accurate portrayals, the show aims to resonate with today’s audiences while respecting its roots.

Netflix’s involvement also means high production values, global distribution, and potential for a multi-season arc that could cover the full breadth of the Ingalls family's journey.

A Prairie Reimagined for a New Generation

Netflix’s Little House on the Prairie reboot is shaping up to be both a nostalgic homage and a bold reimagining. With a talented cast led by Alice Halsey and a powerhouse creative team, the series is well-positioned to captivate both longtime fans and new viewers alike.
