Ride with Norman Reedus is an American travel documentary television series that premiered on AMC on June 12, 2016. The series follows actor and motorcycle enthusiast Norman Reedus, where he and a guest of the week travel across a different destination on a motorcycle while exploring local biker culture and various locales.
AMC ordered the series on October 29, 2015. The idea came from AMC president of original programming Joel Stillerman, who called Reedus about doing a show about his love for motorcycles to which Reedus replied "Yes, yes, yes right away" before Stillerman could change his mind. Reedus picks the ride companion for each episode due to their history and location, like Peter Fonda, who starred in the film Easy Rider.
In September 2016, AMC renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on November 5, 2017. In September 2017, AMC renewed the series for a third season, which premiered on February 10, 2019. In January 2019, AMC renewed the series for a fourth season, which premiered on March 8, 2020. In December 2019, AMC renewed the series for a fifth season, which premiered on March 7, 2021. By July 2023, the series had been renewed for a sixth season, which premiered on September 10, 2023. By March 2025, the series had been renewed for a seventh season, which premiered on September 14, 2025.
