CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Variety reports:

Netflix has greenlit a new TV adaptation of “Little House on the Prairie,” the beloved book series written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Rebecca Sonnenshine (“The Boys,” “Vampire Diaries,” “Archive 81”) will serve as showrunner and executive producer on the new series. Ingalls Wilder released eight “Little House” books in the 1930s and ’40s, while a ninth was published posthumously in 1971. The books are based on her childhood in the American Midwest in the late 1800s.

The books were then adapted into the incredibly popular NBC series “Little House on the Prairie,” which aired for nine seasons and over 200 episodes between 1974 and 1983. Three made-for-TV “Little House” movies were released after the series, and the show’s appeal has endured long after it ended. Nielsen recently reported that the original series was one of the most-streamed library titles of 2024, garnering 13.25 billion viewing minutes on Peacock over the course of the year.
