Ride with Norman Reedus is an American docu-travel 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 the city's biker culture and checking out various locales.

AMC ordered the series on October 29, 2015, with a premiere date set for June 2016.[1] 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.[2] Reedus picks the ride companion for each episode due to their history and location, like Peter Fonda who is known for appearing in the film Easy Rider.[3]

AMC renewed the series for a six-episode second season on September 23, 2016,[4][5] which began on November 5, 2017. On September 12, 2017, AMC renewed the series for a third season, which premiered on February 10, 2019.[6] On January 24, 2019, AMC renewed the series for a fourth season which premiered on March 8, 2020.[7][8] On December 9, 2019, the series was renewed for a fifth season.[7] By July 2023, it was renewed for a sixth season,[9] which premiered on September 10, 2023.[10]
