American children’s novels by Laura Ingalls Wilder
A week of streaming releases and new music debuts is highlighted by cross-platform titles, including a Netflix relaunch of a classic, a Peacock original, and new albums from Adam Lambert and Finn Wolfhard. AP reviews frame several releases, while HBO Max debuts The Long Walk ahead of a Stephen King adaptation.
Netflix’s Little House on the Prairie has been updated for 2026, expanding the frontier story with new Indigenous and Black characters while aiming for historical nuance. Rebecca Sonnenshine’s adaptation keeps the core journey of the Ingalls family but confronts questions of land, treaties and representation in a more explicit way.
