Prime Video is pulling the plug on Ride Or Die after just one season, despite the Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer action comedy becoming one of the streamer’s biggest new scripted hits. The show hit No. 1 in Prime Video’s U.S. daily rankings shortly after its July debut and remained a strong performer both in the U.S. and internationally. The series also scored with critics, earning a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and reportedly came in under budget. But Prime Video decided not to order Season 2, leaving the show’s cliffhanger ending unresolved. Now Paramount Television Studios, which produces the series, is shopping Ride Or Die to other networks and streamers. The exact reason for the cancellation isn’t clear, although Deadline reports that the show’s appeal to middle-aged women may have worked against it because that audience already heavily uses Amazon Prime for shopping and therefore may not help Amazon attract new subscribers.
