Fans of classic television rejoiced last month when Deadline revealed that Netflix was greenlighting a new adaptation of the beloved television series Little House on the Prairie, based on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s classic series of children’s novels. But just a few hours after the announcement, the show was already mired in political controversy.

The original show aired in 1974 and was based on the books by Laura Ingalls Wilder about growing up in the American West during the late 1800s.

Netflix confirmed that an adaption of "Little House on the Prairie" by Laura Ingalls Wilder is in the works. Rebecca Sonnenshine of “The Vampire Diaries" will be the executive producer.

LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRARIE actress Alison Arngrim explained what exactly fans can expect from the upcoming Netflix “reboot” of the beloved show.
