Action comedy 'Ride or Die' gets July premiere date
Los Angeles, May 12
Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham-starrer is all set to be released on July 15.
Prime Video on Monday announced the release date of the action comedy, sharing some first-look images as well.
"Ride or Die," which comes from Paramount Television Studios, will debut all eight episodes at once on July 15, as per Deadline.
Here's the logline for the show: "Ride or Die follows best friends Debbie Claybourne (Octavia Spencer) and Judith Burton (Hannah Waddingham) 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."
Tessa Coates created the series and is executive producer, along with showrunner Matt Miller and director Peyton Reed.
"Ride or Die" was first announced last year at the Amazon upfront presentation.
Bill Nighy, Ed Skrein, Sylvia Hoeks, Calam Lynch, Savannah Steyn, Jamie Parker, and Jacky Ido also feature in 'Ride or Die'.

Road trip comedy with assassin twist sounds like a fun concept! But hope they don't make it too predictable with the best-friend-turned-enemy trope. Indian web series are doing similar themes now, so competition is real!
Strong female leads + action comedy = count me in! Bill Nighy's presence is a bonus. Prime Video is really stepping up their game with diverse content. Hope the writing matches the cast.
Honestly, web series with this premise feel overdone. But I'll give it a chance because of Octavia Spencer - she's amazing in everything! Also, European road trip setting is a nice escape from usual city backdrops.
This sounds like a fun summer watch! Best friends, assassins, Europe road trip - what's not to love? And all episodes at once means no waiting for next week! July 15 can't come soon enough! 🎉
Not sure about another 'best friend turns out to be a secret agent' plot - feels like 'Killing Eve' meets 'Bad Sisters'? But the cast is solid. Will watch for Octavia and Hannah's chemistry! 🤞
Maaza aa gaya! Action comedy with such strong casting -
