- Prime Video is adapting Elsie Silver's four-book Rose Hill series (Wild Love, Wild Eyes, Wild Side, Wild Card), announced at Amazon's May 2026 upfront and positioned in the vein of Netflix's My Life With the Walter Boys and Ransom Canyon.
- Jake Weary, Sean O'Pry, Hannah Galway, and Sadie Dickerson lead the cast as West Belmont, Ford Grant, Rose, and Skylar Stone respectively — O'Pry is the American model known for Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" video.
- Heidi Cole McAdams is showrunner, Marc Webb directs the pilot and second episode, and Temple Hill produces, with Silver herself serving as executive producer alongside Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen, and James Seidman.
- Eleven additional recurring roles filled out the ensemble, including Siobhan McGroarty as Cora, Sophia Reid-Gantzert as Emmy Belmont, West Mulholland as Oliver, and Paul Raci, John Ralston, and Woody Jeffreys among recent additions.
- The story centers rancher West Belmont and his best friend Ford Grant — a brooding record label owner Forbes dubbed the "World's Hottest Billionaire" — whose rivalry over West's sister Rose is upended when country-pop star Skylar Stone arrives in the mountain town.
Why it matters: Prime Video is staking a claim in the small-town romance genre that Netflix has dominated with adaptations like My Life With the Walter Boys, and Silver's four-book catalog gives Amazon multiple seasons of source material beyond the initial series. Putting Marc Webb — a director with both rom-com and superhero experience — on the pilot signals Prime Video's intent to compete on production polish, not just volume.
