“Make a choice: your friend or this organization.” Amazon MGM Studios has revealed the first trailer for a new international assassins buddy comedy series titled Ride or Die, about these two best friends. Set for a streaming debut online starting in July this summer if anyone wants to join them. “Some friendships are bulletproof.” Two best friends, Judith and Debbie, discover Judith is secretly an assassin. After a hit goes wrong, they go on the run while being targeted by a mysterious enemy, forcing them to confront the secrets between them. They end up fleeing together – it is a race against time and a road trip across Europe, with law enforcement, highly trained assassins, and some very dangerous criminals right at their heels. Starring Octavia Spencer as Debbie & Hannah Waddingham as Judith, with a cast including Bill Nighy, Ed Skrein, Sylvia Hoeks, Calam Lynch, Savannah Steyn, and Jamie Parker. Ahh yes another ol’ “turns out your best friend is actually a top secret expert assassin!” story, as if we haven’t seen this 1000x before. Not to be confused with the recent Bad Boys: Ride or Die movie, this streaming series will only be on Prime Video starting this summer. Not really sure it’ll be worth a watch– but check out the footage below anyway.
