Amazon Unexpectedly Cancels "Ride or Die"
Despite strong reviews and top streaming rankings, the action comedy will not return, and Paramount Television Studios is now seeking a new home for it.
- Amazon Prime Video canceled the Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer-led action comedy Ride or Die after one season, despite strong viewership and positive reviews since its July 15 debut.
- With a 96% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and an 85% audience rating, the series consistently hit the No. 1 slot in daily rankings, making the cancellation unexpected.
- The series drew 922 million minutes in its second week and maintained a spot on the weekly Global Top two months after release, rivaling renewals like Scarpetta.
- Paramount Television Studios, the lead production studio, is shopping the series to other buyers in an attempt to secure a second season following Amazon Prime Video's cancellation.
- The decision follows a three-month restructuring at Amazon MGM Studios that included television department leadership changes, while the show remains part of a wave of 'white wine thrillers' featuring adult female leads.
