Prime Video has cancelled Ride or Die after one season.
The series, which was released in June, stars Oscar-winning actress Octavia Spencer alongside Hannah Waddingham, who also serves as an executive producer.
Ride or Die follows best friends Debbie Claybourne (Spencer) and Judith Burton (Waddingham), who believe they know everything about each other.
That changes when Debbie discovers that Judith is an international assassin.
After a mysterious figure from Judith’s past emerges and a hit goes wrong, the friends are forced to go on the run together.
Their journey takes them across Europe as they try to evade law enforcement, highly trained assassins and dangerous criminals.
According to Deadline, Prime Video has decided not to renew the series for a second season.
There is currently no news on whether Ride or Die could be picked up by another streaming service.
