Ride or Die First Look with Spencer and Waddingham

Today, ahead of Amazon’s upfront presentation, Prime Video announced the premiere date and shared a first look at the action comedy Ride or Die, starring and executive-producing Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham.

From Paramount Television Studios, the fast-paced series will debut all eight episodes globally on July 15, exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories.

The series, created by Tessa Coates, who executive-produces alongside showrunner Matt Miller and director Peyton Reed, was first announced at Prime Video’s second annual Upfront Presentation last year.

Ride or Die follows best friends Debbie Claybourne (Octavia Spencer) and Judith Burton (Hannah Waddingham), who thought they knew everything about each other, except Judith turns out to be an international assassin.

When a mysterious figure emerges from Judith’s past, and a hit goes horribly wrong, both of their worlds are turned upside down as they’re forced to go on the run together. It’s a race against time and a road trip across Europe, with law enforcement, highly trained assassins, and some very dangerous criminals at their heels.

Ride or Die also stars Bill Nighy, Ed Skrein, Sylvia Hoeks, Calam Lynch, Savannah Steyn, Jamie Parker, and Jacky Ido.

Ride or Die is produced by Paramount Television Studios and Amazon MGM Studios, as well as Andy and Barbara Muschietti’s Double Dream and Octavia Spencer’s Orit Entertainment (Lost Women of Alaska).

Coates, Miller, and Reed executive produce alongside Octavia Spencer for Orit Entertainment; Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso); Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Irene Yeung for Double Dream; Brian Clisham; and Stephanie Kluft.
