In addition to former leading actors such as Melissa Gilbert (59) and Karen Grassle (82), some of the supporting cast will also be attending the event.

Anderson's relationship with the rest of the cast is no longer too good, which is why she has decided not to take part in the reunion. The actress reportedly already had problems with her co-stars on set and isolated herself, as some of them have since revealed. It seems not everything was as perfect as the series portrayed on the set of 'Little House on the Prairie'.

Unfortunately, the hope of the entire living cast reuniting will not come to fruition this time. One thing is for sure: fans will definitely be looking forward to their series favorites making an appearance without Melissa Sue Anderson.
