Luke Bracey, Crosby Fitzgerald and Skywalker Hughes Join Netflix's LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE Reboot

Luke Bracey Crosby Fitzgerald Skywalker Hughes Little House On The Prairie Reboot

Netflix has made the first casting announcements for their upcoming reboot of the beloved 1970s series "Little House on the Prairie" based on Laura Ingalls Wilder's classic semi-autobiographical novels. Luke Bracey ("Elvis", "Hacksaw Ridge", "Point Break" remake) and Crosby Fitzgerald ("Palm Royale", "Crime 101") are set to star as Charles Ingalls and Caroline Ingalls while Skywalker Hughes ("Joe Pickett", "Ordinary Angels") is set to play their eldest daughter, Mary Ingalls. Alice Halsey has been previously cast as the Ingalls' second daughter and series narrator Laura.

The new series picks up the story when the Ingalls have two daughters, Mary and Laura. It has been described as part hopeful family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story of the American West, and it hails from showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine and CBS Studios. Sonnenshine executive produces alongside Joy Gorman Wettels for Joy Coalition, Trip Friendly for Friendly Family Productions, Dana Fox and Susanna Fogel. Sarah Adina Smith will direct the first episode. CBS Studios produces with Anonymous Content Studio. Filming is slated to begin in June in Winnipeg, Canada.

Bracey's Charles Ingalls won his wife's heart by carrying her three miles through the snow to a winter dance. He's a man who'd fit in seamlessly into the 21st century. Ruggedly handsome, charming, outgoing. A farmer and a trapper. A carpenter and an artist. A poet, a musician, a skilled storyteller. The original Girl Dad. He is an optimist, always glass half-full. But he is also a wanderer. A seeker. A man forever in search of greener pastures.



Fitzgerald's Caroline Ingalls did not marry her husband out of convenience — they fell truly madly deeply in love. It was a great romance — and it still is. She's got a playful side, a romantic side — but at the end of the day, she's the one who keeps this family on track. Like moms do. She's quiet and patient and practical — but with a core of steel. She gave up her teaching career to have a family, but that yearning for independence never quite went away. Her marriage is one of equals — something rare in the 19th century. And though her trust in her husband is tested, the strength of their love endures.

Hughes' Mary Ingalls is Laura's older sister and polar opposite. A rule follower. Quiet and studious. Always angling to be the good daughter, the obedient one, the ladylike one, the prettier one. Other parents love Mary. Unlike her sister, she is uncomfortable in the natural world: the sun is too hot, the snow is too cold. She loves pretty ribbons and reading poetry and long afternoons of sewing. In other words, Laura and Mary are oil and water. Best friends and mortal enemies. They love each other deeply and argue intensely. But in the end, they always have each other’s backs — there is no choice but to protect each other in this wild new landscape.

Bracey is currently filming the second season of the Disney+/Hulu series "The Artful Dodger". Fitzgerald can next be seen in the Amazon feature "Crime 101" and recurring on Hulu's Amanda Knox limited series. Hughes will next be seen in the films "I, Object", alongside Anna Farris, and "In the Blink of an Eye", alongside Kate McKinnon.
