Netflix’s ‘Little House on the Prairie’ Finds Its Laura

Netflix’s take on Little House on the Prairie has cast its first role — and it’s a vital one.

Alice Halsey will play Laura in the streamer’s adaptation of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved novels. The young actress has appeared in Apple TV+’s Lessons in Chemistry, where she played the daughter of Brie Larson’s character, and in Days of Our Lives on Peacock, along with a guest spot on NBC’s Night Court and voiceover work on the Disney Junior series Kindergarten: The Musical.

The new Little House comes from CBS Studios, Anonymous Content Studio and showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine (The Boys, The Vampire Diaries). Netflix gave it a series order in January, culminating several years of development by Anonymous Content and what was then Paramount TV Studios (the latter shut down last year, with CBS Studios absorbing its series and development).
