A ‘Little House on the Prairie’ reboot is coming to Netflix.

Another executive producers of the series is Trip Friendly. His father, Ed Friendly, produced the original series.

Netflix says:

“The new Little House on the Prairie is part family drama, part epic survival tale and part origin story of the American West. The series will offer a kaleidoscopic view of the struggles and triumphs of those who shaped the frontier. 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.”
