Netflix announced today that Little House on the Prairie has been renewed for a second season. The early pickup comes four months ahead of the drama's July 9 premiere.

"I'm incredibly grateful to our wonderful cast and crew, who put their hearts and hard work into making our first season come alive," said showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine. "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."

"We are delighted to renew this beautiful reimagining of Little House on the Prairie for a second season ahead of its Netflix debut," said Jinny Howe, head of US and Canada scripted series at Netflix. "The exceptional work by Rebecca Sonnenshine and the entire cast and crew on Season 1 has established a rich foundation of storytelling for years to come. With its hopeful spirit and emotional authenticity, we're confident that Little House will deliver even more of what fans truly love."

Based on Laura Ingalls Wilder's enduring, almost 100-year-old book series about growing up in the American West in the 1800s, the show is a hopeful family drama, epic survival tale, and origin story offering a kaleidoscopic view of the struggles and triumphs of those who shaped the frontier in the 1800s.
