Here's your first look at the "new" Ingalls -- the family at the heart "Little House on the Prairie." (search)

ABC is bringing the famous 1970s series back in a special, short-form series that begins next month.

This time, the series will be much closer to the original Laura Ingalls Wilder (search) books, the network says.

Kyle Chavarria will star as Laura Ingalls, with Danielle Ryan Chuchran playing older sister Mary. Cameron Bancroft fills the role of Pa, formerly occupied by Michael Landon (search), and Erin Cottrell is Ma.

If the series does well in the ratings, expect to see it come back as a full-fledged series next fall, insiders say.
