Ingalls fans will be delighted and delighted.

Paramount TV Studios and Anonymous Content are preparing a new take on

Little House on the Prairie

 as an hour-long adaptation according to

Entertainment Weekly

.

Alison Arngrim, who played the nasty little Nellie Oleson (daughter of the equally nasty Harriet Oleson) in the TV movie is a candidate, at 58, for the role of Meme Oleson.

"I'm old enough to play Madame Oleson and I'm not ashamed," she told

Entertainment Weekly

.

American myth

While the series continues to air in no less than 30 countries, no adaptation worthy of the name has ever been made.

Little House on the Prairie

, its English name, aired between 1974 and 1983 on NBC.

It tells the story of the 19th century Ingalls, Charles, Caroline and their three daughters Mary, Laura and Carrie, farmers who leave the Northeastern United States to settle in Minnesota at Plum Creek.

Americans in the purest mythical tradition of this country.

But the series has also been the subject of controversy, with some calling it racist.

For example, a section of the American Library Association had decided to rename its literary prize “Laura Ingalls Wilder”.
