‘Ride Or Die’ Canceled After One Season at Prime Video; Paramount TV Studios Shopping Series Elsewhere

Posted Sep 22, 2026

Prime Video has officially canceled Ride Or Die after a single season, ending its run on the platform just months after its debut. The action‑comedy series, led by Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham, will not return for Season 2 under Amazon’s banner.

Despite the cancellation, the show may not be finished. Paramount Television Studios, which produced the series, has begun shopping Ride Or Die to other networks and streaming platforms in hopes of securing a new home. According to industry sources, the studio believes the series still has strong franchise potential thanks to its star power, international appeal, and positive audience response.

The eight‑episode first season followed lifelong best friends Debbie Claybourne (Spencer) and Judith Burton (Waddingham) as they were thrust into a globe‑spanning adventure after Judith’s secret life as an assassin was exposed. The series blended high‑energy action with character‑driven comedy and earned praise for the chemistry between its leads.

Paramount TV Studios is reportedly targeting platforms seeking female‑driven action projects and international co‑production opportunities. No official bidders have been announced, but discussions are said to be underway.

Whether Ride Or Die finds a second life remains to be seen, but the studio’s decision to shop the series suggests confidence in its creative direction and marketability beyond Prime Video.
