A settler family faces wolves, fire, fever, unsavoury locals and all the dangers of pioneer life in the American West in Netflix’s charming reimagining of classic 1970s series Little House on the Prairie.

Based on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s much-loved books, the eight-part drama is set in the 19th century and begins as 10-year-old Laura Ingalls (Alice Halsey) and her pioneer family leave their home in Wisconsin for a treacherous wagon ride to Kansas, where they hope to stake a claim on Osage territory.
