‘Little House on the Prairie’ Stars Alison Arngrim, Dean Butler & Rachel Lindsay Greenbush Talk Netflix Reboot (Exclusive)

Last week, news of a Little House on the Prairie series on Netflix sharply divided the beloved show’s fan community: “People are like, ‘Oh my God, yay, a reboot. It’s the greatest thing that ever happened. The second coming,'” Alison Arngrim, who played the villainous Nellie Oleson, told ReMIND. “Or [they’re saying] ‘No, no, no, not a reboot. The show is perfect. Don’t touch it.’ And they’re getting upset about it.”

Some people who aren’t upset about it? Arngrim and her co-stars Dean Butler, who played Almanzo, and Rachel Lindsay Greenbush, who played Carrie. The cast members spoke to ReMIND about their feelings towards the new series, how Little House was ahead of its time, and why fans still flock to the show, 40 years after it aired its final episode.
