“The original 'Little House on the Prairie' aired on NBC for nine seasons, from 1974 to 1983, and was based on Laura Ingalls Wilder's books. The series followed the Ingalls family's 19th-century adventures as they settled on a farm near Plum Creek, Minnesota. Michael Landon played Charles Ingalls, while Karen Grassle portrayed Caroline Ingalls, the family's matriarch.”

“Netflix's reboot of 'Little House on the Prairie' is set to debut on July 9, 2026, offering a new take on the classic series. However, fans of the original 1970s show, which starred Michael Landon and Melissa Gilbert, can still watch the original series. The original series, which ran for nine seasons, followed the Ingalls family on the American frontier and became a beloved family drama. The show addressed themes such as family values, hard work, and community while also tackling issues like addiction, illness, and racism. For those looking to watch the original series before the reboot, several streaming platforms offer the show, including Pluto TV, Peacock, Prime Video, and Philo.”
