Melissa Gilbert Says 'Little House On The Prairie' Reboot At Netflix "Will Do Things We Didn't Get To Do So Easily In '70s"
In an interview with EW,Melissa Gilbert, aka the Laura in the long-running NBC series from 1974-1984, said, “there’s room in the Little Hous e universe for all different kinds of stories to be told, just like there was always room in the Little Women universe to keep retelling that story.” Rebecca Sonnenshine ( The Boys, Vampire Diaries, Archive 81) will serve as showrunner and executive producer on what Netflix is describing as a “reimagining” of the series based on the book series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Gilbert went on to tell EW that the new iteration will “do things that we didn’t get to do necessarily so easily in the ’70s.” She’s referring to the diversity in casting that the new series hopes to achieve, but is also responding to a recent tweet by Megyn Kelly who lamented the possibility of Netflix “woke-fying” the beloved franchise.
