Prepare for a thrilling new series starring two of Hollywood’s most formidable actresses! Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer are joining forces for an adrenaline-fueled show titled “Ride or Die.” This dynamic duo is set to embark on an exciting journey, tackling criminal activity. The program promises a memorable summer for viewers, and rest assured, it’s not a reimagining of the iconic film “Thelma & Louise.”
As detailed in the show’s official synopsis, “Ride or Die” centers on best friends Debbie Claybourne (portrayed by Octavia) and Judith Burton (played by Hannah). They believed they understood each other completely, only for Judith to be revealed as an international assassin. The narrative takes a dramatic turn when a shadowy figure from Judith’s past emerges, and a mission goes disastrously wrong. Consequently, their lives are upended, compelling them to flee together. The story unfolds as a high-stakes race against the clock and an extensive road trip across Europe, with law enforcement, skilled assassins, and dangerous criminals relentlessly pursuing them.
