On July 9, “The Boys” writer and “Archive 81” creator Rebecca Sonnenshine fulfills a dream she’s had since she was 10 years old, with the debut of her “Little House on the Prairie” adaptation on Netflix.

A lifelong Laura Ingalls Wilder fan, Sonnenshine — who recently had success with the word-of-mouth blockbuster “The Housemaid” —  pitched the streamer and show producers hard when she found out a “Little House” reboot was in the works. She landed the job not in spite of her work on supernatural, horror and genre series like “The Vampire Diaries,” but because of it.
