NETFLIX'S "LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE" ROUNDS OUT INGALLS FAMILY CAST
Luke Bracey (he/him) (Elvis, Hacksaw Ridge, Little Fires Everywhere) will play Charles Ingalls. Charles won his wife's heart by carrying her three miles through the snow to a winter dance. He's a man who'd fit in seamlessly into the 21st century. Ruggedly handsome, charming, outgoing. A farmer and a trapper. A carpenter and an artist. A poet, a musician, a skilled storyteller. The original Girl Dad. He is an optimist, always glass half-full. But he is also a wanderer. A seeker. A man forever in search of greener pastures. (Series Regular)

Crosby Fitzgerald (she/her) (Crime 101, Palm Royale) will play Caroline Ingalls. Caroline did not marry her husband out of convenience -- they fell truly madly deeply in love. It was a great romance -- and it still is. She's got a playful side, a romantic side -- but at the end of the day, she's the one who keeps this family on track. Like moms do. She's quiet and patient and practical -- but with a core of steel. She gave up her teaching career to have a family, but that yearning for independence never quite went away. Her marriage is one of equals -- something rare in the 19th century. And though her trust in her husband is tested, the strength of their love endures. (Series Regular)

Skywalker Hughes (she/her) (I, Object) will play Mary Ingalls, Laura's older sister and polar opposite. A rule follower. Quiet and studious. Always angling to be the good daughter, the obedient one, the ladylike one, the prettier one. Other parents love Mary. Unlike her sister, she is uncomfortable in the natural world: the sun is too hot, the snow is too cold. She loves pretty ribbons and reading poetry and long afternoons of sewing. In other words, Laura and Mary are oil and water. Best friends and mortal enemies. They love each other deeply and hate each other intensely. But in the end, they always have each other's backs -- there is no choice but to protect each other in this wild new landscape. (Series Regular)
