Summary
Netflix’s reboot of Little House on the Prairie opened at No. 2 on the platform, trailing only Worst Neighbor Ever and ranking ahead of titles including I Will Find You and Dark Winds.
77% of critics on Rotten Tomatoes rated the series positively after a few dozen reviews, while its audience score stood at 61% from a still-small pool of viewers.
The adaptation revives a property last seen on TV in 1974 and rooted in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s 1935 books, extending a franchise now nearing the century mark.
An ensemble of largely unknown actors may help keep costs down for the period drama; a planned Paramount film adaptation was scrapped in 2016 after a proposed $45 million budget was deemed too high.
