Two of Hollywood’s most powerful leading women in an action-packed series? Count us in! Hannah Waddingham and Octavis Spencer hit the road together and fight off crime in their upcoming show, Ride or Die. The series is bound to give us a summer to remember, and no — this isn’t a revival of Thelma & Louise.
According to an official description of the show, Ride or Die follows best friends Debbie Claybourne (Octavia) and Judith Burton (Hannah), “who thought they knew everything about each other, except Judith turns out to be an international assassin. When a mysterious figure emerges from Judith’s past, and a hit goes horribly wrong, both of their worlds are turned upside down as they’re forced to go on the run together. It’s a race against time and a road trip across Europe, with law enforcement, highly trained assassins, and some very dangerous criminals at their heels.”
