Summary
All eight first-season episodes of Ride or Die landed on Amazon Prime Video on July 15, giving the action-comedy a full-season binge release.
Hannah Waddingham stars as Judith Burton, an international assassin whose secret life collides with best friend Debbie—played by Octavia Spencer—after a hit upends Debbie’s marriage and sends the pair on the run.
