Exclusive: Hannah Waddingham, Octavia Spencer talk Prime Video's "Ride or Die”
Premiering globally July 15 on Prime Video with all eight episodes is Ride or Die, starring and executive produced by Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham. The series is created by Tessa Coates who executive produces alongside showrunner Matt Miller and director Peyton Reed.
Ride or Die follows best friends Debbie Claybourne (Spencer) and Judith Burton (Waddingham) who thought they knew everything about each other, except Judith turns out to be an international assassin.

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.
