Netflix is clearly high on its reboot of Little House on the Prairie as the streamer has renewed the drama for a second season ahead of its debut.
The series, based on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s book, will launch on July 9.
The family drama, which tells the origin story of the American West, stars Alice Halsey as the strong-willed Laura Ingalls, Skywalker Hughes as Laura’s older sister Mary, Luke Bracey as Pa, and Crosby Fitzgerald as Ma.
