- Prime Video cast Jake Weary, Sean O'Pry, Hannah Galway, and Sadie Dickerson as leads in Rose Hill, a drama based on best-selling author Elsie Silver's book series.
- Weary will play rancher West Belmont, while O'Pry is set as brooding record label owner Ford Grant, nicknamed Forbes' 'World's Hottest Billionaire,' who has long carried a torch for West's sister, Rose (Galway).
- Dickerson rounds out the quartet as country-pop star Skylar Stone, whose arrival in the mountain town 'turns the heat up' in the romantic family drama.
- Heidi Cole McAdams serves as writer, showrunner, and executive producer, with Marc Webb directing the pilot and second episode and also executive producing.
- Silver, Temple Hill's Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen, and James Seidman also serve as executive producers, with Annika Patton as co-executive producer.
- Weary's recent credits include Netflix's The Waterfront and all six seasons of TNT's Animal Kingdom; Galway previously appeared in FX's Under the Banner of Heaven and Netflix's Cabinet of Curiosities.
Why it matters: Prime Video is staffing up a romantic drama adapted from a best-selling book franchise, a strategy that has driven success for competitors like Netflix's book-to-screen pipeline. Anchoring the series with a supermodel-turned-actor (O'Pry) and Broadway newcomer (Dickerson) signals the streamer is prioritizing marquee and fresh faces to compete in the crowded romance-adaptation space.
