GETTING A TV SERIES VERSION AT NETFLIX
 |
Netflix will the turn the books into series
|
It seems
Netflix is trying to find their own
All Creatures Great and Small family type of series as they have just ordered a new remake of
LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE. Legendary books by
Laura Ingalls Wilder with
Rebecca Sonnenshine as the showrunner will be turned into a series that will be part hopeful family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story of the American West. This fresh adaptation of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s iconic semi-autobiographical ‘Little House’ books offers a kaleidoscopic view of the struggles and triumphs of those who shaped the frontier. The books have sold so far in over 70 million copies worldwide.
It looks like Netflix is aiming for a real classic with this new Little House on the Prairie remake! The combination of family drama, survival elements, and the rich history of the American West could make for a truly compelling series. Given how iconic the books are, with their exploration of perseverance and community, this adaptation has a lot of potential to resonate with modern audiences while honouring the original spirit of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s work. With Rebecca Sonnenshine at the helm, it’ll be interesting to see how they balance the nostalgia of the original series with a fresh, new take. Could be a great addition to the streaming platform’s line-up!
ReplyDeleteYes, let us just hope they don't ruin it all with bad casting which is something Netflix always does.
DeleteLITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE is my favourite!! I have watched it a couple of times..I hope they find the right one for Laura Ingalls...she was so cute , interesting and intelligent. Her sister Mary was just dull.
ReplyDeleteHope they will not disappoint you. I have to admit I do not remember much of it, I know it aired on our national broadcaster when I was very kleine, but I cannot remember the story. I know I never liked Melissa Gilbert who starred in it.
DeleteI loved that show when I was a kid. I wonder if this will be any good.
ReplyDeleteI imagine not since it is on Netflix LOL
DeleteMy mom will tune into it, I am sure. The original was always playing on our tv when I was growing up. Though, like you, I don't remember too much about it.
ReplyDeleteIs she watching Tim's Shifting Gears?
DeleteI'm sure she is. She's always been a big Tim Allen fan like I have.
DeleteIt is an OK series, not as good as his old ones, and Kat Dennings is atrocious in it, like borderline unwatchable because of her and the kids are awful too. I am mostly watching for Tim and Sean William Scott.
DeleteMaybe they'll replace her like they did with Mandy on LMS.
