- Season 2 renewed before season 1 even aired
- No confirmed release date or plot
- Main cast expected to return, new cast confirmed to be introduced
- Production is underway as of July 2026
If there's a reboot I've been pleasantly surprised by in recent years, its Netflix's take on Little House on the Prairie.
Based on the classic book series by Laura Ingalls Wilder of the same name, we follow the Ingalls family as they relocate to the Prairie lands of Kansas. Seen through the eyes of youngest daughter Laura (Alice Halsey), we're reminded of what's important in life — respect, understanding and a willingness to grow.
All eight episodes of season 1 are now available to stream, but luckily for fans, season 2 was renewed before the new series even premiered.
There's still a lot left to learn about what's to come, but here's everything we know so far.
Little House on the Prairie season 2 release window predictions
As of July 2026, Little House on the Prairie season 2 is currently in production. If all goes well, we can predict that new episodes could come out as early as mid 2027, but we could easily be left waiting for longer.
“I’m incredibly grateful to our wonderful cast and crew, who put their hearts and hard work into making our first season come alive,” showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine told Netflix. “We can’t wait to share this new adaptation of the Little House books with the world, and we’re thrilled that Netflix is giving us the opportunity to continue the story.”
Little House on the Prairie season 2 trailer: is there one?
Don't be silly. It took us until mid June 2026 to get one for season 1, so expect the first full trailer to arrive around four weeks before the second season does.
Little House on the Prairie season 2 cast
We're expecting the following main cast members to return for Little House on the Prairie season 2:
- Alice Halsey as Laura Ingalls
- Skywalker Hughes as Mary Ingalls
- Luke Bracey as Charles Ingalls
- Crosby Fitzgerald as Caroline Ingalls
Our season 1 supporting cast are less likely to return, given that the season finale saw the Ingalls family leaving Kansas for pastures new after the field fires.
However, we do know that these new faces will be joining the action:
- Willa Dunn as Nellie Oleson, Laura’s ultimate rival
- Charlotte Sullivan as Margaret Oleson, Nellie's mother
- Rachelle Lefevre as Eva Beadle, a schoolteacher
We can expect more new faces to be announced closer to release, so watch this space.
Little House on the Prairie season 2 plot predictions
Logically, Little House on the Prairie will adapt the next book in Wilder's original series, On the Banks of Plum Creek.
Having left their little house on the Kansas prairie (which is exactly what we saw at the end of season 1), the Ingalls family travels by wagon to Minnesota, settling on the banks of Plum Creek.
The book covers a five-year span of Wilder's childhood, so we could see the Ingalls stay there for a while should the Netflix series continue to be renewed.
This also makes sense for introducing Nellie, who we meet in On the Banks of Plum Creek.
The Ingalls are going to have their work cut out for them, with the Locust Plague of 1874 and a blizzard both key parts of Wilder's childhood at this time.
Will there be more seasons?
Interestingly (but unsurprisingly, judging by how the 1974 TV series was adapted) we've already skipped past two books in Wilder's series before season 1 even begins.
Here's the full Little House series list:
- Little House in the Big Woods (1932)
- Farmer Boy (1933)
- Little House on the Prairie (1935)
- On the Banks of Plum Creek (1937)
- By the Shores of Silver Lake (1939)
- The Long Winter (1940)
- Little Town on the Prairie (1941)
- These Happy Golden Years (1943)
- The First Four Years (1971)
As you can see, there's a plethora of material there for the taking if Netflix chooses to continue on with the series. It could easily be sustained for long enough to rival Virgin River, Netflix's current longest-running original series of all time.
If there is to be any renewal news, we'll likely hear about it a lot closer to season 2's eventual release.
