Ride or Die follows best friends Debbie Claybourne and Judith Burton 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.

Audience Says

Pairing Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham is nothing short of genius, and Ride or Die is a twisty guilty pleasure that throws plausibility out the window in pursuit of laughs, action, and charm.

Graeme Blundell The Australian Aug 10, 2026
Getting an obvious laugh is one thing; it is much harder to do what these actors do – draw humour from the characters themselves, without ever making those characters seem as if they are trying to be funny. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Jul 30, 2026
You haven’t seen someone trying to fight an assassin while being poisoned until you’ve seen Hannah Waddingham do it in the close confines of a luxury train. Go to Full Review David Opie Empire Magazine Jul 27, 2026
3/5
Ride Or Die isn’t quite the action vehicle Waddingham and Spencer deserve, but they both excel regardless, hitting the thrills and comedic beats with formidable and charismatic tenacity. Go to Full Review Susan Granger SSG Syndicate Aug 22, 2026
8/10
Obviously inspired by 'Thelma & Louise,' this female-focused action-adventure is an engaging, escapist buddy/caper comedy with intertwined WOACs - women of a certain age. Go to Full Review Alan French FandomWire Aug 18, 2026
4/10
While Hannah Waddingham is a lot of fun in Ride or Die, too much of the series feels generic. We want more for Octavia Spencer, who feels almost anonymous in this series. Go to Full Review Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier Aug 14, 2026
Well written with a dash of humor and speedily directed, the seasoned cast is a lot of fun to watch. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Guilherme P @RT11448558 6 days ago Very fun, addictive, and well-acted. Overall, the series delivers on every level. Octavia Spencer was fantastic, as was Hannah Waddingham. See more Christy D @RT678902135633 Sep 11, 2026 I thoroughly enjoyed the whole series. The only dampener for me is Amazon’s insistence on peppering their Prime films and programs with ads for those who have already spent a great deal on Prime membership. Purely a personal gripe, but one that I’m sure many will agree with. See more Belinda B @Belinda389 Sep 11, 2026 It's very dark and funny. Great show! See more Nina F @RT89679481 Sep 10, 2026 Bold casting. Fun tone and zippy enough dialogue. I don't like the style of action scenes too light hearted for my taste. I get why people like it though. See more Bre R @RT65593944 Sep 9, 2026 Loved this series! The chemistry between Debbie & Judith is 🔥🔥 Funny, action packed and binge worthy. See more Cameron B @RT19146645 Sep 6, 2026 I don't understand why this is liked so much. It's predictable, boring, over acted.... and you get to speed read when agents get worked up. Just anther of the same story told with different actors. See more Read all reviews
