Few stories have connected generations like The Little House on the Prairie.
It all began with the semi-autobiographical book series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The first book came out in 1932, while the ninth and final was published in 1971. Not long after, the Western TV series premiered in 1974 and ran for 9 seasons.
Now, Netflix is remaking the show, with Laura Ingalls being portrayed by Alice Halsey.
“I think it’s a huge privilege to be able to play this amazing character,” the actress told People in a recent interview. “She’s been an icon across generations and I feel so honored that I get to play this character and be shown on-screen as Laura Ingalls.”
Halsey shared that she does feel the “pressure” surrounding such an iconic role. She knows how important Wilder’s book series and MelissaGilbert's portrayal of Laura are to Little House on the Prairie fans.
“I felt a lot of responsibility to Laura and the writers and [showrunner] Rebecca [Sonnenshine] to do it right. I knew that I had to honor her legacy and her story because she really was an amazing woman, a storyteller, a writer and a hard worker,” Halsey said. “So I felt a lot of pressure, but I think I was surrounded by amazing castmates and I’m just so glad that I could do it with them.”
Adding, “I think my favorite part might have been being able to just figure out who she is because she definitely has a lot of sides to her.”
The Netflix original will also include performances by LukeBracey as CharlesIngalls, CrosbyFitzgerald as Caroline Ingalls, and SkywalkerHughes as MaryIngalls.
Halsey is excited for Little House on the Prairieto hit the streamer. She knows it will resonate with fans across generations.
“Little House, I think, is a story about growth and hope and family and community,” she explained. “And it really is just... I think that I just hope that everybody enjoys it as much as I love making it. I think that the Little House stories are really beloved to so many people and I hope that they’ll love our show too.”
