The streamer released the first official trailer for their Little House on the Prairie series adaptation on Thursday.
“Part hopeful family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story of the American West,” the streamer is set to offer their own take on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved semi-autobiographical Little House books, and depict “a kaleidoscopic view of the struggles and triumphs of those who shaped the frontier.”
