Can a reboot of a beloved classic actually work? Warren Christie, who plays John Edwards in Netflix's Little House on the Prairie, says the new series stays true to the themes that made Laura Ingalls Wilder's stories timeless: family, community, hope and perseverance. In this interview with Crosswalk Talk's Michael Foust, Christie discusses fans' concerns about reboots, the show's emphasis on multi-generational viewing, and why its message may be more relevant today than ever. He also opens up about his character's emotional journey and the lessons modern families can learn from frontier life. Plus, the Hallmark favorite explains why he believes feel-good, family-friendly entertainment continues to resonate with audiences and bring people together.
