Netflix has just premiered its newest show, a remake of the 1974 television series Little House on the Prairie. The original show from 50 years ago was loosely based on the book series of the same name by Laura Ingalls Wilder, and this 2026 version brings those stories to life once again.<\/p>\n

The show made No 3 on Netflix\u2019s list of global top shows that week, just behind the limited series I Will Find You and true crime anthology Worst Neighbour Ever. The reboot has already been renewed for a second season earlier this year ahead of its premiere, and viewers have praised the show\u2019s use of newer, up-and-coming actors.<\/p>\n

Among the main cast is young actress Alice Halsey, who plays Laura Ingalls, a young girl living in the Midwest during the late 19th century.<\/p>\n

So, who exactly is this 11-year-old actress? Here\u2019s what we know about Alice Halsey.<\/p>\n

Halsey was born in the United States on November 15, 2014. Per Soaps, a website about soap opera dramas, the 11-year-old started auditioning for roles at the age of only three. She made her acting debut at the age of eight as Madeline Zott in the 2023 period drama miniseries Lessons in Chemistry, where she worked alongside Oscar winner Brie Larson. Halsey has also appeared in Night Court and the long-running show Days of Our Lives.<\/p>\n

Halsey told The Hollywood Reporter that Days of Our Lives<\/span><\/a> helped her acting journey. \u201cThere are so many amazing actors and actresses on that show that I was privileged enough to work with, and they\u2019re all really experienced,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was a great learning experience \u2026 It kind of whipped me into shape.\u201d<\/div>\n

In preparation for her role in Little House on the Prairie, Halsey read the books the series is based on in addition to the script, and listened to podcasts and books about the late 19th century. \u201cI just wanted to get a sense of who the character was, how I would play her,\u201d Halsey said to THR.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
