Station 19′s Barrett Doss Among Little House on the Prairie's Latest Additions
In her first TV role since Station 19 was unceremoniously doused after seven seasons, Barrett Doss is making camp at Little House on the Prairie. Described as 'Part hopeful family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story of the American West,' Netflix's 'fresh' adaptation of Laura Ingalls Wilder's iconic semi-autobiographical Little House books promises 'a kaleidoscopic view of the struggles and triumphs of those who shaped the frontier.' More from TVLine Casting News: Jack Lowden Leads Berlin Noir Series, Matthew Rhys Is Invincible and More Assassin's Creed Live-Action Adaptation Ordered to Series at Netflix Casting News: Olivia Colman and Brie Larson's FX Drama, Jax Taylor Exits The Valley and More Alice Halsey, who played daughter to Brie Larson in Apple TV+'s Lessons in Chemistry, will fill the role of wee Laura Ingalls, while Skywalker Hughes (Joe Pickett) will play older sister Mary. Ruling the cramped roost as Ma and Pa/Caroline and Charles will be Crosby Fitzgerald (Palm Royale) and Luke Bracey (the Aussie star of 2015's Point Break remake). As first reported by Deadline, Doss will recur as Emily Henderson, a charming woman who is good with people, and numbers, which helps her run the General Store. Also filling recurring guest star roles will be Mary Holland (Ghosts' Patience) as Jemma James, a confident woman who has an air of big city and is the town's busybody; Michael Hough (Chapelwaite) as Jemma's husband Eli, who works for the railroad and is supportive of the newcomers arriving in town; Kowen Cadorath (SkyMed) as Caleb, a skinny, 'prairie handsome' pre-teen whom Emily offers a job at the General Store; Thosh Collins (Disney+'s Echo) as Louis, the good-natured of Alyssa Wapanatǎhk's White Sun; Maclean Fish (Shoresy) as Adam Scott, who is 'boyish and handsome but soft' (and probably about to get served papers by a Severance star); and Rebecca Amzallag (Titans) as Lacey Aubert, a beautiful and happily widowed outcast who owns a card room and bar on the edge of town.

Israel redeploying troops from Gaza to Syrian frontier: Military official
An Israeli military official said on Wednesday that some troops stationed in the Gaza Strip were to be redeployed to the area of the frontier with Syria, where Israel has struck, claiming to defend the Druze minority. The military official told reporters during a briefing that some soldiers were "preparing to be deployed on our northern border with Syria" from Gaza, where Israel has been fighting Hamas militants since the Palestinian group's October 2023 attack.

‘The Unholy Trinity' is far from the best of the West
'The Unholy Trinity' is a reminder that they don't make 'em like they used to — and maybe that's a good thing. A pokey, low-budget Western enlivened by a couple of aging stars happily hamming it up, it's the kind of B movie they used to program before the feature and after the cartoon in the old days. These days, we call it 'straight to streaming,' which is where this undercooked frontier shoot-out belongs. Seeing it in a theater at megaplex prices is the equivalent of a stagecoach robbery.

‘The Damned' Review: Stasis in the Civil War
War is boring as hell in 'The Damned,' an austere western drama set far from the battlefields on the 1862 frontier. It seeks not to tell a story but to capture a set of feelings. None of them are pleasant. Beginning with a less-than-subtle image of wolves tearing apart a carcass, Italian writer-director Roberto Minervini all but announces his intent to add an entry to the already voluminous antiwar cinema. Evocatively naturalistic, his film painstakingly captures the largely uneventful existence of a small troop of Union Army volunteers somewhere out in the borderlands of the West. We don't learn the name of the state or territory where the film takes place, just as we are not told the names of any of the men. Instead, we observe their daily rituals—drinking bad coffee, playing ball games, standing guard around the perimeter. Among their most vital activities is peering at a ridge to see if any minute detail ever changes, which might as well be a metaphor for this type of film.
