10 Best TV Shows Like Ride Or Die

If you’ve finished binge-watching Prime Video’s Ride or Die, you’ll want to dig into more thrillers featuring powerful women entangled in high-stakes situations. First up is the BBC America series Killing Eve, based on Luke Jennings’ Villanelle books. American analyst Eve Polastri and her dramatic assassin partner Villanelle engage in a dangerously seductive game of cat and mouse across four seasons.

While Ride or Die also follows a strong female protagonist, Villanelle takes the assassin role to thrilling new heights, unburdened by any sense of morality.

For a similar mystery thriller vibe, HBO’s The Flight Attendant has you hooked from the start. After a one-night stand turns deadly, Cassie (Kaley Cuoco) is gripped with panic, fearing she’ll mirror the tragic Amanda Knox case. As unsettling memories resurface and the FBI hounds her for the gruesome murder, Cassie struggles to untangle the truth. Ride or Die emphasizes fast-paced action, whereas The Flight Attendant leans into psychological drama, offering a grounded perspective on the fallout.

Meanwhile, Netflix’s action-comedy FUBAR introduces Arnold Schwarzenegger as Luke Brunner, a former CIA operative whose career is a secret from his family. Recruited for one last mission, he must navigate his daughter Emma’s involvement in the same covert world. The father-daughter duo’s bickering in the field puts their mission—and their trust—at risk. Like Ride or Die, the duo must overcome mistrust to survive together.

For a touch of humor and espionage, tune into Prime Video’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith. John and Jane Smith leave their civilian lives behind to undercover as husband and wife. Matched after sharing nail clippings, they navigate real feelings amid mounting conflict and real threats. While both Ride or Die and Mr. & Mrs. Smith feature trust issues and secrets, their responses to the tension differ dramatically.

For a final recommendation, revisit the spy thriller Alias, a precursor to Jennifer Garner’s successful Alias films. Syndey Bristow, a highly skilled CIA agent, discovers that her entire world is a lie. Betrayed by the organization SD-6, she vows to tear it apart. Like Judith in Ride or Die, Sydney exists in a world of secrecy, using her agility to navigate danger.
