Picture: Little House on the Prairie – Netflix
While subscribers await the release of Little House on the Prairie, season 2 has already been confirmed, and we have an update on filming, which is being eyed to begin in June 2026!
Little House on the Prairie is an upcoming Netflix Original period drama adaptation of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved autobiographical novels, led by showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine (The Boys). The first season will be released on Netflix on July 9, 2026, and ahead of its release, Netflix has already announced that the series has been renewed for a second season.
Little House on the Prairie follows the Ingalls family’s move from their Wisconsin farm to a log house in Montgomery County, Kansas, in 1869. Their new home was built on Native American territory, but Laura’s father had heard that the government planned to open the territory to white settlers and thus took the risk to settle his family. The family faces risks and perils during their two-year stay in Kansas, including falling ill, starting a new farm, and land disputes with Native Americans and the U.S. Government.

The first season of Little House on the Prairie is scheduled to come to Netflix on July 9, 2026, and with the second season following a similar production schedule, we would expect season 2 to land on Netflix sometime in either July or August 2027.
Will Netflix renew Little House on the Prairie for season 3?
By renewing the series for a second season before the first season’s release, Netflix demonstrates its confidence in the adaptation’s success. If the series performs as Netflix expects, there’s an incredibly high chance we’ll see Little House on the Prairie renewed before the second season’s release.
It’s no secret that Little House on the Prairie spans 22 years, from 1872 to 1894. Just as the original and beloved NBC adaptation did, the Netflix adaptation could run for the next decade.
Just as audiences did in the 1970s/1980s with Melissa Gilbert, the original Laura Ingalls, we’ll get to see the new actress, Alice Halsey, grow up on screen.
