Little House on the Prairie has already been renewed for season 2 — but not every cast member is returning.
Based on the beloved book series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, Little House on the Prairie series is centered on the Ingalls family, who live on a farm on Plum Creek near Walnut Grove, Minnesota, in the late 1800s.
While Michael Landon, Karen Grassle, Melissa Gilbert and Melissa Sue Anderson originated the roles, Alice Halsey, Luke Bracey, Crosby Fitzgerald and Skywalker Hughes took over in Netflix’s version.
Season 2, however, will look quite different, since the Ingalls family moved from Wisconsin to build a homestead near Independence, Kansas.
Wilder’s book series was centered on the family during their time in Plum Creek near Walnut Grove, Minnesota, which will be explored in the sophomore season. As a result, most of the characters introduced in season 1 won’t be returning.
