Prime Video has droppeed the official trailer for Ride or Die, its upcoming action comedy series starring and executive produced by Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham.
“Deb, I’m an assassin,” Hannah Waddingham’s Judith admits to her longtime best friend Deb (Spencer) as the two are being shot at in their car by gunmen from a vehicle on their heels. “I kill terrible people.” she confesses. “For money,” says Deb. “Well if I did it for free I’d be a serial killer,” Judith said bluntly. Deb then takes the wheel and they’re on the run.
Created by Tessa Coates, Ride or Die follows best friends Debbie Claybourne (Spencer) and Judith Burton (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, per the logline.
Ed Skrein also stars as “Billy,” Calam Lynch as “Sam,” Savannah Steyn as “Queenie,” Jamie Parker as “David,” Jacky Ido as “Jacques,” with Sylvia Hoeks as “Ana” and Bill Nighy as “The Director.”
