[NEWS] "Little House on the Prairie" Reboot Set at Netflix

"fresh take" ... "delight both new and existing fans" ...
Nope. It'll be more barely recognisable "reboot" garbage. If you're going to make something from existing material, why butcher it into unrecognisable rubbish full of your own silly ideas of what it "should have been"?? You may as well simply make a new TV show about a early American family and call it something else. Re-using the same name makes zero sense from evey angle.  :-\
Plus the now "necessary" Political Correctness nonsense will infest it. No doubt Laura will now black and have one leg missing, while her elder sister will "identify themselves" as a boy.
     'Little House on the Prairie' Reboot Set at Netflix
     ---------------------------------------------------
     Netflix has greenlit a new TV adaptation of "Little House
     on the Prairie," the beloved book series written by Laura
     Ingalls Wilder.
     Rebecca Sonnenshine ("The Boys," "Vampire Diaries,"
     "Archive 81") will serve as showrunner and executive
     producer on the new series. Joy Gorman Wettels of Joy
     Coalition will also executive produce along with Trip
     Friendly for Friendly Family Productions, Dana Fox, and
     Susanna Fogel. CBS Studios and Anonymous Content Studios
     will produce for Netflix. Friendly is the son of Ed
     Friendly, who executive produced the original "Little House
     on the Prairie" TV series.
     "'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 Jinny Howe,
     vice president of drama series for Netflix. "Rebecca's
     vision threads the needle with an emotional depth that will
     delight both new and existing fans of this beloved classic."
     The official logline for the new series states: "Part hopeful
     family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story
     of the American West, this fresh adaptation of Laura Ingalls
     Wilder's iconic semi-autobiographical 'Little House' books
     offers a kaleidoscopic view of the struggles and triumphs of
     those who shaped the frontier."
     Ingalls Wilder released eight "Little House" books in the
     1930s and '40s, while a ninth was published posthumously in
     1971. The books are based on her childhood in the American
     Midwest in the late 1800s. More than 73 million copies of the
     books have been sold to date.
     The books were then adapted into the incredibly popular NBC
     series "Little House on the Prairie," which aired for nine
     seasons and over 200 episodes between 1974 and 1983. Three
     made-for-TV "Little House" movies were released after the
     series, and the show's appeal has endured long after it ended.
     Nielsen recently reported that the original series was one of
     the most-streamed library titles of 2024, garnering
     13.25 billion viewing minutes on Peacock over the course of
     the year.
     "I fell deeply in love with these books when I was five years
     old," said Sonnenshine. "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."
     Sonnenshine is repped by UTA, Circle Management + Production,
     and Hansen Jacobson.
     "It has been a long-held dream of mine to carry on my father's
     legacy and adapt Wilder's classic American stories for a
     21st century audience in a way that brings together fans of
     both the books and the original television series," Friendly
     added. "I am thrilled by our talented creative team led by
     Rebecca Sonnenshine who are bringing these beloved stories
     about family, community, and survival to long-time fans and
     new generations."
     With this series order, Netflix has now commissioned three
     Western frontier series in the past few years. Most recently,
     the streamer released the limited drama "American Primeval"
     starring Taylor Kitsch and Betty Gilpin. The streamer is also
     prepping the Western drama "The Abandons," although series
     creator and showrunner Kurt Sutter exited the project back in
     October with a few weeks left on the shooting schedule. Filming
     was completed, but no premiere date for the series has been set
     at the time of this publishing.
     Netflix also previously released the Western limited series
     "Godless" in 2017, with that show receiving 12 Emmy nominations
     with three wins.
