- Siobhan McGroarty, Sophia Reid-Gantzert, and West Mulholland have been cast as series regulars on Amazon Prime Video's 'Rose Hill,' joining previously announced leads Jake Weary, Sean O'Pry, Hannah Galway, and Sadie Dickerson.
- Gigi Zumbado and Curtis Hamilton join as recurring guest stars, with the new cast set to play members of the Belmont family and the broader Rose Hill mountain town (Cora, Emmy Belmont, Oliver Belmont, Tabitha, Bash Rousseau).
- Heidi Cole McAdams serves as writer, showrunner, and executive producer, with Marc Webb directing the first two episodes and executive producing; Elsie Silver is also an executive producer on the adaptation.
- The series is based on Elsie Silver's four-book 'Rose Hill' collection — 'Wild Love,' 'Wild Eyes,' 'Wild Side,' and 'Wild Card' — and follows rancher West Belmont, record-label owner Ford Grant (Forbes' 'World's Hottest Billionaire'), and country-pop star Skylar Stone in a romantic family drama.
- Amazon Prime Video has previously found success adapting novel series, with current hits including 'Reacher' (Lee Child), 'Cross' (James Patterson), and 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' (Jenny Han), and is currently developing a series version of Rebecca Yarros' 'Empyrean' series beginning with 'Fourth Wing.'
- Each new cast addition comes with listed representation: McGroarty via Rebel Creative Group, Reid-Gantzert via Innovative Artists, Mulholland via Seven Summits Management, Zumbado via Innovative/Artists First, and Hamilton via Realm Talent.
Why it matters: Amazon Prime Video is doubling down on romance and novel-to-screen adaptations, and 'Rose Hill' — based on Elsie Silver's popular book series — adds a small-town, family-drama entry to a slate that already includes 'The Summer I Turned Pretty.' The casting of three series regulars plus two recurring players signals a sizable ensemble for a single-book-series adaptation, giving Temple Hill (producers) and showrunner Heidi Cole McAdams a deep bench to drive serialized romantic tension.
