Prime Video cancels ‘Ride or Die’ series after one season

Prime Video has canceled the action-comedy series ‘Ride or Die’ after just one season. The decision has surprised industry professionals and viewers alike, given the show’s strong performance and critical acclaim. Starring Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer, the series achieved high viewership, including topping Prime Video’s daily rankings in the United States and maintaining a presence in global top 10 lists.

Critically, the show was highly regarded, holding a 96% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite these metrics, Prime Video opted not to renew the series. While an official reason has not been provided, industry analysts suggest that the specific demographic appeal—primarily middle-aged women—might have influenced the decision, as the platform may prioritize content that attracts new subscriber segments.

Because the series was produced by Paramount Television Studios rather than Amazon, the studio retains the rights and is currently shopping the show to other potential broadcasters or streaming platforms to secure a second season.
