AMC Renews Ride with Norman Reedus

AMC has ordered a fifth season of the travelogue Ride with Norman Reedus, featuring the titular The Walking Dead star and motorcycle enthusiast.

The series follows Reedus as he hits the open road with a riding companion to explore different cultures and experience the best scenery, food, nature and local activities in the U.S. and around the world. The renewal for season five, which begins production on six episodes in early 2020, comes ahead of the show’s season four debut on Sunday, March 8, at midnight.

Additionally, AMC is giving fans a chance to weigh in and select one of Reedus’ riding locations for season five with a special online poll. Fans can enter their votes on Ride’s official Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts for one of the following cities: Jackson, Mississippi; San Diego, California; Salt Lake City, Utah; Seattle, Washington; or Portland, Oregon.

Ride season four, which consists of six episodes, features a The Walking Dead Dixon Brothers reunion with Reedus journeying through Alabama and Georgia with his former co-star Michael Rooker. Reedus will also be riding through Kentucky and expanding his international travels with rides in Japan, Costa Rica and Uruguay. Guest riders include Milo Ventimiglia (This is Us), Ryan Hurst (The Walking Dead), Clifton Collins Jr. (Westworld), Dom Rocket and Becky Goebel.

The series is produced by Left/Right (This American Life, The Circus, James Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction), a Red Arrow Studios company, and Big Bald Head, with Ken Druckerman, Banks Tarver, Anneka Jones and Reedus serving as executive producers and Lizzie Ashe as co-executive producer.

“Ride not only gives me the chance to share my passion for motorcycle culture, but also the opportunity to explore new places around the world and meet some incredible people on the journey,” said Reedus. “I’m so excited for fans to see this upcoming season and to get on the road for season five! And I can’t wait to see which location fans chose for me to visit next year.”
