In 2008, CBC Television picked up Cameron's show, WILD ROSES - a project she co-created with her sister Tassie and producer Miranda de Pencier. Shot in and around Calgary during the fall and winter of 2008, WILD ROSES premiered on January 6, 2009.
From the CBC website: Shakespearean themes of family, love and betrayal are the roots of WILD ROSES. Two families, the wealthy McGregors and the debt-ridden Henrys,
clash over land, love and loyalty. Their stories tangle against the
backdrop of boomtown Calgary, Alberta, where oil rich executives play
at being cowboys and the surrounding ranchlands are in danger of being
consumed by the new-West gold rush.
From Amy Cameron, herself: Basically, there's lots of sex, money and hotties on horses.
Cameron, a co-creator and co-producer, had the best time with WILD ROSES - especially with the fantastic group of Canadian actors who were involved in the show. The fact that it was picked up within months of the birth of Cameron's son was, ya know, no biggie. Heh heh...
