Prime Video just dropped the official trailer for Ride or Die, an upcoming action comedy series starring Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham. The eight-episode show will arrive on July 15, 2026. The trailer dropped on June 8, which also happens to be National Best Friends Day. The timing fits perfectly because the whole show is about a friendship put to the ultimate test.
Best Friends With a Deadly Secret
The series follows Debbie Claybourne (Spencer) and Judith Burton (Waddingham) . They have been best friends for years. Or at least Debbie thought they knew everything about each other. Then she finds out Judith lives a double life as an international assassin who kills terrible people for money. The trailer has a back-and-forth exchange where Debbie asks, “For money?” Judith responds, “Well if I did it for free I’d be a serial killer.”
The action starts immediately. A mysterious figure from Judith’s past shows up. One of her hits goes very wrong. Soon both women are forced to run. They go on a road trip across Europe while law enforcement, rival assassins, and dangerous criminals chase them.
