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 Alise Chaffins Movies We Texted About Sep 23, 2026
3.5/5
This series is a beautiful tribute to female friendship in midlife, providing something deeper than a simple spy thriller. 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 Read all reviews

NATASHA C @RT08393778 4 days ago ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS OF THIS YEAR ...... SUPER ENTERTAINING See more James S @jampot61 Oct 4, 2026 Fatiguing with endless "Its' my fault" and then not collaborating. Enjoyable 50% of the time. Fell asleep on other occasions. Some good locations. Some good characters. See more Susannah Z @Susannahz Sep 26, 2026 PLEASE RENEW!! Please please please. I haven't had this much fun in a long time, and definitely not in the theaters. Brilliant acting, I laughed and cried countless times, Phenomenal script writing; unpredictable and the cinematography was fabulous, visuals and change of scenery constantly moving. Typically filming of this requires a huge budget, so bravo! I'm impressed! See more Tanya P @RT70144760 Sep 21, 2026 I absolutely love this show! Finally a super cool TV show about older women that has action, laughter, success, empowerment and friendship. It ticks all the boxes. It is a show to sit down with your bestie and a glass of wine. See more Guilherme P @RT11448558 Sep 13, 2026 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 Read all reviews
