Rebecca Sonnenshine (The Boys, The Vampire Diaries, Archive 81), is shepherding the new series as showrunner and executive producer. And, like everyone before her who became engrossed in the adventures of the Ingalls family, Sonnenshine is a lifelong fan.
“I fell deeply in love with these books when I was 5 years old,” said Sonnenshine. “They inspired me to become a writer and a filmmaker, and I am honored and thrilled to be adapting these stories for a new audience.”
Along with Sonnenshine, executive producers of the series include Joy Gorman Wettels for Joy Coalition, Trip Friendly for Friendly Family Productions, Dana Fox, and Susanna Fogel. Friendly’s father, Ed Friendly, produced the 1974 Little House television film and later series that was broadcast from 1974 to 1983 on NBC.
“It has been a long-held dream of mine to carry on my father’s legacy and adapt Wilder’s classic American stories for a 21st-century audience in a way that brings together fans of both the books and the original television series,” says Friendly, CEO of Friendly Family Productions.
