    Amazon Greenlights 'Rose Hill' Series
    Based on Elsie Silver Romance Novels
    -------------------------------------
    Amazon Prime Video has ordered a series version of Elsie Silver's
    "Rose Hill" romance novels.

    The announcement was made as part of Amazon's upfront presentation
    to advertisers in New York on Monday. Variety exclusively reported
    the project was in development at Prime Video in June 2025.

    The logline for the show states that it "follows best friends and
    neighbors West Belmont, a rancher with commitment issues, and
    brooding record label owner Ford Grant, aka Forbes' 'World's
    Hottest Billionaire,' who's long carried a torch for West's
    sister, Rosie. And when country-pop star Skylar Stone breezes into
    their rugged mountain town, the heat gets turned way up in this
    romantic family drama."

    "Working with this team on the Rose Hill adaptation has been such
    a treat," said Silver. "To see everyone's hard work and creativity
    come to life on screen will be a dream come true!"

    Heidi Cole McAdams serves as writer, showrunner, and executive
    producer on "Rose Hill." Marc Webb will direct the first two
    episodes and executive produce. Silver serves as an executive
    producer alongside Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen, and James Seidman
    for Temple Hill. Annika Patton of Temple Hill will co-executive
    produce.

    There are currently four books in the "Rose Hill" series - "Wild
    Love," "Wild Eyes," "Wild Side," and "Wild Card." In addition to
    those books, Silver has also published five "Chestnut Springs"
    books and four "Gold Rush Ranch" novels.

    "'Rose Hill' is exactly the kind of sweeping, emotional romance we
    love and need-grounded in character, driven by compelling
    relationships, and set in a world that feels both aspirational and
    authentic," said Godfrey and Bowen. "With Heidi and Marc, we have
    an incredible team bringing Elsie Silver's fantastic books to life
    in a cinematic, exciting way. You'll want to live in Rose Hill!
    We're excited at Temple Hill to continue our collaboration with
    Prime Video, alongside 'Off Campus' and 'Boys of Tommen.'"

    Amazon has found considerable success in recent years with shows
    based on novel series. Among their current shows, they have hits
    like: "Reacher," based on Lee Child's Jack Reacher books; "Cross,"
    based on James Patterson's Alex Cross; and the YA drama "The Summer
    I Turned Pretty," based on Jenny Han's novel trilogy of the same
    name. The streaming arm of the tech giant is also currently
    developing a series version of Rebecca Yarros' Empyrean series,
    beginning with "Fourth Wing," among several other projects.

    "Elsie Silver's 'Rose Hill' novels have resonated with millions of
    readers by blending sweeping romance with grounded, emotionally
    complex relationships," said Peter Friedlander, head of global
    television for Amazon MGM Studios. "It's a world where love,
    loyalty, and identity collide in ways that feel both intimate and
    expansive. With Heidi Cole McAdams, Marc Webb, and our partners at
    Temple Hill, we're excited to translate that richness to the screen
    for Prime Video audiences globally."
