Netflix offered a first look at its new “Little House on the Prairie” series on Monday with the debut teaser, and despite much online discussion about Netflix making the beloved Laura Ingalls Wilder book series “woke,” it looks like a pretty straightforward adaptation.
Luke Bracey and Crosby Fitzgerald star as Charles and Caroline, respectively, and the series hails from “The Housemaid” screenwriter Rebecca Sonnenshine, who serves as executive producer and showrunner.
The first season is based on the book “Little House on the Prairie,” which is actually the third book in the series. But Sonnenshine said her North Star for creating the show was the love amongst the family.
“This show is a love story about a family. They’re a family you want to be with, you want to know, you want to spend time with,” showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine said in a statement to Netflix. “That’s really at the core of what ‘Little House on the Prairie’ is about: a family that is there for each other, that tells stories to each other, tells stories about themselves.”
Watch the teaser below. All episodes of the first season of “Little House on the Prairie” debut on Netflix on July 9.
