Netflix’s new adaptation of Little House on the Prairie arrives Thursday, July 9, and for anyone who wants to revisit the story that started it all, Pluto TV has a free option ready in time for the occasion. The streaming service is running a dedicated Little House on the Prairie channel with all nine seasons of the original series available in order, around the clock, at no cost. The original show, led by Michael Landon, aired on NBC from 1974 to 1983 and became one of the defining family dramas of its era, following the Ingalls family as they built a life on the American frontier.
The timing lines up neatly with the new Netflix adaptation, which stars Alice Halsey as Laura Ingalls alongside Luke Bracey, Crosby Fitzgerald, and Skywalker Hughes as the rest of the Ingalls family. Showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine has described the new version as a reimagining rooted in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s original books rather than a retelling of the 1970s series, and Netflix has already renewed it for a second season ahead of its debut. For viewers curious how the new take compares to where the story began, Pluto TV’s channel offers an easy way to watch or rewatch the original before pressing play on the new one.
Whether the appeal is nostalgia for longtime fans or a first introduction for younger viewers discovering the Ingalls family through the new adaptation, having both versions available in the same week gives audiences a rare chance to experience the full arc of how this story has been told across generations. Pluto TV’s Little House on the Prairie channel is free and requires no subscription, making it an easy add for anyone planning to watch the Netflix premiere this week.
