Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham are about to give us the most chaotic road trip of the summer.
Prime Video just dropped the official trailer for Ride or Die, and if first impressions are anything to go by, this action-comedy is about to become our next streaming obsession.
Starring Oscar winner Octavia Spencer and Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham, Ride or Die blends explosive action, sharp comedy, and an unlikely friendship at the center of a globe-trotting adventure.
What Is Ride Or Die About?
The eight-episode series follows best friends Debbie Claybourne (Spencer) and Judith Burton (Waddingham), who believe they know everything about each other—until Debbie discovers that Judith has secretly been living a double life as an international assassin.
When a dangerous figure from Judith's past resurfaces and a mission goes disastrously wrong, the pair are forced to flee together. What follows is a high-stakes race across Europe with law enforcement, professional killers, and dangerous criminals all in pursuit.
The trailer teases explosive chase sequences, plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, and the kind of chemistry between Spencer and Waddingham that instantly sells the entire premise.
The Cast Is Stacked
Alongside Spencer and Waddingham, the series features an impressive supporting cast including Ed Skrein, Calam Lynch, Savannah Steyn, Jamie Parker, Jacky Ido, Sylvia Hoeks, and Bill Nighy. Behind the scenes, the series comes from creator Tessa Coates, with Matt Miller serving as showrunner and Peyton Reed directing. Spencer also executive produces alongside Waddingham.
Why We're Excited
Streaming platforms have given us plenty of spy thrillers in recent years, but Ride or Die feels refreshingly different. Instead of focusing solely on espionage, the show leans heavily into friendship, comedy, and the fish-out-of-water dynamic between its two leads.
The combination of Spencer's impeccable comedic timing, Waddingham's commanding screen presence, and a fast-paced European road trip packed with assassins sounds like exactly the kind of summer binge-watch audiences are looking for.
And judging by the trailer, the series isn't afraid to embrace its absurdity—in the best possible way.
When Does Ride Or Die Premiere?
All eight episodes of Ride or Die will debut globally on Wednesday, July 15, exclusively on Prime Video. If the trailer is any indication, expect plenty of action, plenty of laughs, and one very unforgettable road trip.
