What Is the Netflix Reboot About?
The new series is part hopeful family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story of the American West — a transformed adaptation of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved semi-autobiographical novels. Netflix Tudum
In the teaser, Laura narrates: “Once upon a time, Ma and Pa, and Mary and Laura left the big woods of Wisconsin and moved to the prairie, where a new life was waiting for them. Every day and every night was an adventure. And even though they were all alone and very small against the sky and the stars, they were happy. Because they were a family, and they were together.”
