What's New in Netflix's Little House on the Prairie

The new series is filmed in Manitoba and is based on Laura Ingalls Wilder's third book.

After over 40 years, the classic show Little House on the Prairie is back on TV.

The new show is similar to the old one, but it follows the book more closely and shows the harsh life of the frontier.

The show's creator, Rebecca Sonnenshine, wants to make the series more like the books by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Sonnenshine loved Wilder's books when she was a kid and read them many times.

Canada is a big part of the show, with Manitoba standing in for Kansas.

The landscapes in Manitoba helped create the show's open and untouched prairie look.

The weather in Manitoba was a challenge for filming, with cold winters and floods.

The show's creator says the cast and crew faced many challenges, just like the characters in the show.

The original Little House on the Prairie show was very popular and is still remembered today.

The original books have been criticized for how they portray some groups of people.

The new show tries to do better by including the Osage people and their stories.

The Osage people are a main part of the new show, not just a small part.

The show's creator wants to bring the Osage point of view into the story.

The new show focuses on the Ingalls family, but also on the people around them, like their Osage neighbors.

An actor named Meegwun Fairbrother plays a mixed-blood Osage farmer in the show.

Fairbrother usually doesn't play historical roles, but he was drawn to this one.

Another actor, Alyssa Wapanatâhk, plays the wife of Fairbrother's character.

Wapanatâhk was excited to play a character who is part of the Osage family.

A young actress named Wren Zhawenim Gotts plays the daughter of Fairbrother's character.

The show worked with Osage consultants to make sure the portrayals were accurate.

The consultants helped with the language, costumes, and set design.

The show's creator wants to focus on the communities in the story, not just the Ingalls family.

An actor named Luke Bracey plays the father, Charles Ingalls, in the show.

Bracey didn't know much about the story before he started filming, which helped him see it in a new way.

Bracey enjoyed learning about the story and being part of the show.

An actress named Crosby Fitzgerald plays the mother, Caroline Ingalls.

Fitzgerald grew up with the books and the old TV show, and was excited to be part of the new show.

Fitzgerald's family was very excited when she got the role.

A young actress named Alice Halsey plays the role of Laura Ingalls.

Halsey felt a lot of pressure playing the iconic role of Laura.

Halsey wanted to do justice to the character and the story.

The show's creator thinks Halsey does a great job playing Laura.

Another young actor, Skywalker Hughes, plays the role of Mary Ingalls.

Hughes is a fan of the books and was excited to be part of the show.

Hughes loves the series and is happy to be a part of it.

The show's creator hopes viewers see the show as more than just a historical drama.

The show is about love, family, and community, and the importance of these things.

The show's creator thinks we all need to be reminded of the importance of love and family.

The show's creator hopes the show will encourage people to read Wilder's books.

The books are beautiful and special, and the show's creator wants people to discover them.

The first season of the show is available on Netflix, and a second season is being filmed.
