Netflix’s “Little House on the Prairie” Casts New Roles Including Anticipated Characters from the Beloved Book

New cast will join previously announced series regulars Alice Halsey in the role of Laura Ingalls, Luke Bracey as Charles Ingalls, Crosby Fitzgerald as Caroline Ingalls, and Skywalker Hughes as Mary Ingalls.

Jocko Sims will play Dr. George Tann. Dr. Tann is a generous and kind-hearted man with a charming bedside manner that makes him a connector within the community.

Warren Christie will play John Edwards, a Civil War veteran from Tennessee. Edwards is a gregarious and mysterious man who catches the eye of every single woman in the county (maybe some of the married ones, too).

Wren Zhawenim Gotts will play Good Eagle, the daughter of Mitchell and White Sun. Good Eagle is wildly imaginative and is known as a storyteller in her family.

Meegwun Fairbrother will play Mitchell, a tender-hearted man who lives in Kansas with his family, where he became a successful farmer and built the most impressive homestead in the county.

Alyssa Wapanatahk will play White Sun. White Sun is opinionated, beautiful, and has a sharp sense of humor. At times she sees the world through a more cynical lens than her husband, Mitchell.

Xander Cole will play Little Puma, White Sun’s younger brother. Little Puma is good-hearted, but bull-headed, and is trying to find his place in the world. He loves his big sister but also loves getting under her skin. (Recurring Guest Star)
