'Little House On The Prairie': Alison Arngrim Wants Role In Rumoured Reboot

Little House on the Prairie is a TV classic that's still enjoyed by viewers around the world today. So much so that fans would still love to see the "Ingalls" family now. Providing a glimmer of hope, actress Alison Arngrim ("Nellie Oleson") recently commented on a possible comeback and the role she would like to take on.

Little House on the Prairie aired its series finale in 1983, before a few more TV movies followed in the year after. But by the mid-1980s, stories of the "Ingalls" and Walnut Grove officially ended.

Fans have hoped for a comeback ever since, but they've only recently been given a glimmer of hope. A Little House documentary is happening and there are even rumours of a reboot series. Here are actress Alison Arngrim's comments on the news.

Little House on the Prairie: "Nellie Oleson" actress wants to return

Should the series make a comeback, Arngrim—who played the spoiled "Nellie Oleson"—is more than willing to make a cameo. Speaking to EW, the now 58-year-old actress said: "I'm just the right age to play 'Mrs. Oleson.'"

"Mrs. Oleson" was the mother of Arngrim's character and was played by Katherine MacGregor, who passed on in 2018. "I'm totally there. I have no shame," Arngrim added of her willingness to join a future Little House project, even if it was in a different role.

It also turns out a new revival could be on the way soon. EW's report adds that producer Trip Friendly is currently working on a reboot, but the form it will take is not yet known.
