Prime Video has decided to cancel ‘Ride or Die’ following its first season, according to reports confirmed by Variety. The buddy dramedy, which starred Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer in lead roles, debuted on the streaming platform in July of this year.
The series follows two best friends, Debbie Claybourne and Judith Burton, who discover that one of them is actually an international assassin. When a mysterious figure from the past emerges and a mission goes awry, the pair become fugitives and embark on a cross-continental journey across Europe while being pursued by law enforcement, trained assassins, and criminal organizations.
The show was created by Tessa Coates, who also served as executive producer and showrunner alongside Matt Miller and director Peyton Reed. Production involved multiple studios and production companies, including Paramount Television Studios, Amazon MGM Studios, Double Dream, and Octavia Spencer’s Orit Entertainment. The ensemble cast featured Ed Skrein, Calam Lynch, Savannah Steyn, Jamie Parker, Jacky Ido, Sylvia Hoeks, and Bill Nighy alongside the two leads.
In coverage of the first season, critical response highlighted the chemistry between the lead actors and praised Waddingham’s performance in action sequences, with reviewers noting the show’s strength in its exploration of the friendship dynamic at its core.
