# Netflix Little House reboot highlights Indigenous portrayal > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/netflix-rolls-out-teasers-for-its-little-house-on-the-prairie-series-confirming-a-july-2026-premiere > Updated: 2026-07-30T11:00:00.000Z. Sources: 134. Developments: 29. The eight‑episode Netflix adaptation of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s *Little House on the Prairie* premiered on July 9 2026. Set in Independence, Kansas, the series expands the cast with Osage, Black and mixed‑race characters and places Indigenous consultants at the centre of production. Canadian Indigenous actor Meegwun Fairbrother returns as William Mitchell, while newcomer Willa Dunn plays Nellie Oleson. Showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine worked with Osage cultural consultant Julie O’Keefe and other historians to portray the Osage Nation accurately. Filming took place entirely in Manitoba, Canada, primarily around Winnipeg, from June through October 2026, using real prairie landscapes to capture the setting described in Wilder’s novels. The reboot quickly rose to become Netflix’s top‑ranked show, drawing 9.8 million views in its second week and over 16 million streams overall. Cast additions announced for a second season planned for late 2027 include Luke Bracey as Charles Ingalls and Crosby Fitzgerald as Caroline Ingalls. The season ends with a fraudulent land deal, a fire and a wagon trek toward Walnut Grove, setting up the next arc. Actors from the original series, such as Alison Arngrim, contrasted the modern production’s environment with the 1970s‑80s set culture. Former stars Melissa Gilbert and Dean Butler urged viewers to enjoy the storytelling rather than demand strict historical accuracy. The series has sparked renewed interest in Wilder’s books and in the broader history of 19th‑century frontier settlement, especially the perspectives of Indigenous peoples whose lands were colonised.
