The series’ official synopsis:
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.
Paramount Television Studios, Amazon MGM Studios, Double Dream, and Orit Entertainment produce “Ride or Die.” The eight-episode series premieres July 15 on Prime Video. Watch the new trailer below.
