Based on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s classic semi-autobiographical novels, the new series follows the Ingalls family, which will be played by Alice Halsey (Laura), Luke Bracey (Charles), Crosby Fitzgerald (Caroline), and Skywalker Hughes (Mary). Series leads also include Jocko Sims, Warren Christie, Meegwun Fairbrother, Wren Zhawenim Gotts, Xander Cole, and Alyssa Wapanatâhk, with Xander Cole in a recurring role.
Described as part hopeful family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story of the American West, the new Little House on the Prairie is brought to life by showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine and CBS Studios.
Doss will play Emily Henderson, a charming woman who excels at interacting with people and handling numbers, which enables her to run the General Store. Emily kindly takes in Caleb, an orphan boy who wanders into town.
Holland as Jemma James, the wife of Eli James. Jemma is a confident woman who has an air of big city and is the town’s busybody.
Hough will play Eli James, Jemma James’ husband. Eli works for the railroad and is very supportive of the newcomers arriving in Independence.
Cadorath will play Caleb, a skinny, prairie handsome, pre-teen who has been orphaned and doesn’t say much. Emily, who runs the General Store, takes Caleb in and gives him a job.
Collins will play Louis, White Sun’s good-natured and levelheaded cousin.
Fish will play Adam Scott, who is boyish and handsome but soft. He appears as though he hasn’t had a day of hardship in his life.
Amzallag will play Lacey Aubert, a beautiful and happily widowed outcast who owns a card room and bar on the edge of town.
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 began in June in Winnipeg, Canada.
