The Opening Call to Action

We, the global community of fans, viewers, and media advocates, are calling on Prime Video to reverse its sudden, unjustified cancellation of Ride or Die. In a streaming landscape filled with predictable stories, this action-comedy brought something entirely fresh to our screens. We are demanding that Amazon executives reconsider this decision, look past narrow subscriber metrics, and recognize the immense cultural value of the community that supports this show. If Prime Video refuses to move forward, we demand they fully cooperate with Paramount Television Studios as they shop the series to a network that values its audience.

The Outrage of Data-Defying Corporate Logic

The cancellation of Ride or Die defies all performance logic. The series debuted at #1 on the steaming charts, secured critical acclaim, and commanded a staggering 922 million Nielsen viewing minutes in its breakout week. Yet, industry reports indicate that Prime Video pulled the plug because the show's core audience of adult women "already had Amazon Prime for shopping," meaning the series didn't track enough new subscriber sign-ups.

Treating a fiercely loyal, highly engaged audience as a metric liability is insulting to consumers. We are not just retail accounts; we are viewers who invest our time, energy, and passion into your original programming. By cancelling a top-tier hit because it "preaches to the choir," Amazon sets a dangerous precedent that view count and critical quality no longer matter.

Unfinished Business in Europe

Season 1 left Debbie and Judith fleeing across Europe, pursued by international law enforcement, highly trained killers and a dangerous criminal conspiracy involving Debbie's husband. The creative team, led by creator Tessa Coates, built an intricate web of unanswered questions and massive character arcs that deserve a proper resolution. Forcing a permanent cliffhanger ruins the rewatchability of the first season and deprives the audience of the narrative closure they earned. The story is far from over, and the creative team deserves the chance to finish what they started.

Our Final Demands

We urge Amazon MGM Studios and Prime Video leadership to act on the following:

1. Renew "Ride or Die" for Season 2: Acknowledge the show's exceptional ratings, chart placement, and critical success by greenlighting the next chapter.
2. Support a Fair Transfer: If Prime Video completely refuses to continue the show, we demand they actively assist Paramount Television Studios in smoothly transitioning the intellectual property to a competitive network or streaming service eager to save it.
3. Value the Audience: Stop prioritizing abstract subscriber acquisitions over verified, high-volume viewership numbers.

We will not let Debbie and Judith's road trip end on a corporate spreadsheet. Sign the petition, spread the word using #SaveRideOrDie, and let Amazon know we want our show back!
