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.”
