Prime Video Cancels Ride or Die After One Season
The Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham series was said to be Prime Video's most-watched new scripted show in the U.S. before its cancellation.
Prime Video has canceled Ride or Die after a single season, according to Deadline. The decision ends the series' run one season after its debut.
Deadline's sources indicated that sexism and ageism played a direct role in the cancellation. The show was said to be Prime Video's most watched new scripted series in the U.S. from July 30, 2025, to July 29, 2026, per Deadline.
The show was reported to be less desirable to Amazon executives because middle-aged women already have Amazon Prime for shopping, so a show targeting them would not bring new subscribers, according to Deadline.
Ride or Die debuted on July 15, 2026. It was created by Tessa Coates and overseen by showrunner Matt Miller, and starred Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham.
In earlier years, Amazon dropped Prime Video's A League of Their Own TV series, a well-received women-focused show. In 2026, the Peacock series Ponies, a well-reviewed, women-fronted buddy comedy thriller, was canceled.
