Posted Jun 9, 2026

Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham are trading punchlines for punches in the first explosive trailer for their upcoming action‑comedy series Ride or Die, debuting July 15 on Prime Video.

The newly released footage shows the Emmy‑ and Oscar‑winning duo diving headfirst into high‑octane chaos, blending sharp comedy with full‑throttle action as two best friends forced onto the run. Watch the trailer below;

Prime Video has unveiled the first official trailer for Ride or Die, giving fans a high‑energy look at the unlikely adventure of Debbie Claybourne (Spencer) and Judith Burton (Waddingham) — lifelong best friends whose relationship is tested when Debbie discovers Judith’s shocking secret: she’s an international assassin.

Set to Dua Lipa’s “Physical,” the trailer shows the pair leaping off moving trains, stealing cars, dodging bullets, and cracking jokes as they barrel across Europe with law enforcement, elite assassins, and dangerous criminals in pursuit.

The series follows Debbie and Judith as a mysterious figure from Judith’s past resurfaces, causing a mission to go disastrously wrong. Suddenly, Debbie is pulled into a world she never knew existed, and the two must rely on their decades‑long bond to survive.

Despite the danger, the heart of the show is the friendship between the two women — a theme both stars have emphasized. Spencer praised the project for centering “two brilliant, highly capable women” in an action‑comedy with real emotional depth.

Alongside Spencer and Waddingham, the series features Ed Skrein, Calam Lynch, Savannah Steyn, Jamie Parker, Jacky Ido, Sylvia Hoeks, and Bill Nighy.

Ride or Die comes from creator Tessa Coates, with Matt Miller and Peyton Reed serving as executive producers. Spencer and Waddingham also executive produce, alongside Andy and Barbara Muschietti and others. The show is produced by Paramount Television Studios, Amazon MGM Studios, Double Dream, and Spencer’s Orit Entertainment.

All eight episodes of Ride or Die premiere July 15, 2026, exclusively on Prime Video.
