The new Little House, which hails from CBS Studios, is being shepherded by Rebecca Sonnenshine (The Boys, The Vampire Diaries), who will serve as showrunner. Trip Friendly, son of original series executive producer Ed Friendly, is also an EP. The official logline reads as follows:

“Little House on the Prairie has captured the hearts and imaginations of so many fans around the world, and we’re excited to share its enduring themes of hope and optimism with a fresh take on this iconic story,” said Netflix Drama Series VP Jinny Howe said in a statement. “Rebecca’s vision threads the needle with an emotional depth that will delight both new and existing fans of this beloved classic.”

Added Sonnenshine: “I fell deeply in love with these books when I was five years old. They inspired me to become a writer and a filmmaker, and I am honored and thrilled to be adapting these stories for a new global audience with Netflix.”

Wilder published eight “Little House” novels in the 1930s and ’40s, as well as a ninth book that was published posthumously in 1971; the series focused on Wilder’s upbringing in the American Midwest in the late 1800s.

The original Little House TV series, which starred Michael Landon as Charles Ingalls, bowed on NBC with a two-hour pilot in March of 1974. That was followed by a successful nine-season run and a trio of made-for-TV movies that succeeded Little House’s 1983 finale.

In addition to Langdon, the ensemble at different points included Karen Grassle (as Caroline Ingalls), Melissa Gilbert (as Laura Ingalls Wilder), Melissa Sue Anderson (as Mary Ingalls Kendall), Lindsay Sidney Greenbush (as Carrie Ingalls), Dean Butler (as Almanzo Wilder), Katherine MacGregor (as Harriet Oleson), Richard Bull (as Nels Oleson) and Victor French (as Isaiah Edwards).

The reboot order comes two days after Nielsen revealed that the original Little House garnered a staggering 13.25 billion minutes on Peacock over the past 12 months.
