'Ride Or Die' Canceled By Prime Video After One Season (Exclusive)

Key Points:

• Prime Video has canceled the buddy spy comedy series Ride Or Die starring Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer after its first season, despite strong viewership and positive reviews, with Paramount Television Studios now seeking other buyers for the show.
• The series, which launched on July 15 with minimal marketing, quickly rose to the No. 1 spot in U.S. daily streaming rankings and became Prime Video’s most-watched new scripted series in the U.S. over its first 14 days.
• Ride Or Die maintained strong global performance, holding the No. 1 spot among Prime Video original series for its first three weeks and remaining in the platform’s Global Top 10 over two months post-launch.
• Critically acclaimed, the show holds a 96% critics rating and 85% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, but its cancellation contrasts with other similarly themed series like Peacock’s The Five Star Weekend, which has been renewed.
• Created by Tessa Coates, the series follows two best friends caught in a dangerous world of espionage, ending its first season on cliffhangers that set up a potential second season, which now depends on finding a new platform.
