Amazon canceled canine competition series The package after a season.
The streamer decided not to renew the series, which was presented by Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn and her dog Lucy, for a second season.
It comes after the ten-part series debuted in November.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) condemned the show, saying “animals are individuals – not props for movies and TV shows”, but an Amazon spokeswoman said the charity’s statement did not influence the cancellation decision.
The show, which was described as The amazing Race with dogs, was produced by eOne-owned Naked and Afraid producer Renegade 83 and Amazon Studios.
It featured twelve teams of dogs and their humans on an epic adventure across multiple continents. At each location, human and canine pairs have gone through a series of challenges, designed with a team of accredited veterinarians and certified dog specialists who also accompany the group on their journey.
The winning pair received a $ 500,000 prize with an additional $ 250,000 going to an animal charity of their choice. Amazon also donated $ 250,000 during filming to various charities and animal rescue organizations in each country, helping to pay dogs and those who love them around the world.
It was Vonn’s first major performance; she is widely considered one of the greatest skiers of all time, having won four general World Cup championships, as well as the gold medal in downhill at the 2010 Winter Olympics, the first for an American woman. Your dog Lucy is a Cavalier King Charles.
Old Survivor showrunner executive Jay Bienstock produced alongside Jay Renfroe and David Garfinkle of Renegade 83.
Wrap was the first to report the cancellation.
