Here’s the logline for the show: “Ride or Die follows best friends Debbie Claybourne (Octavia Spencer) and Judith Burton (Hannah 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.”

Tessa Coates created the series and is executive producer, along with showrunner Matt Miller and director Peyton Reed. “Ride or Die” was first announced last year at the Amazon upfront presentation.

The “Ride or Die” cast also includes Bill Nighy, Ed Skrein, Sylvia Hoeks, Calam Lynch, Savannah Steyn, Jamie Parker, and Jacky Ido.

Amazon MGM Studios is also a production company on “Ride or Die,” as well as Andy and Barbara Muschietti’s Double Dream and Octavia Spencer’s Orit Entertainment. Joining Coates, Miller, and Reed as executive producers are Octavia Spencer for Orit Entertainment, Hannah Waddingham, Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Irene Yeung for Double Dream, Brian Clisham and Stephanie Kluft.
