Luke Bracey on What Sets the New LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE Apart From the Original
The eight-episode Netflix series topped the platform's English TV chart with 9.8 million views in its debut week.
Luke Bracey stopped by LIVE WITH KELLY AND MARK to talk about the new Netflix adaptation of LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE and what distinguishes it from the original television series. The conversation focused on how the new version approaches the source material differently from the long-running classic, with Bracey speaking to what audiences can expect from this take on Laura Ingalls Wilder's story.
Bracey stars as Pa in the eight-episode series, which follows the Ingalls family as they settle into frontier life near Independence, Kansas in the 1800s. The cast also includes Crosby Fitzgerald as Ma, Alice Halsey as Laura, and Skywalker Hughes as Mary. The adaptation debuted at the top of Netflix's English TV chart for the week of July 13 through 19, 2026, drawing 9.8 million views in its first appearance on the list.
The series marks a significant return to one of American television's most recognized properties, and Bracey's appearance on LIVE WITH KELLY AND MARK came as the show was generating considerable attention on the platform following its strong debut numbers.
