OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST LINDSEY VONN AND HER DOG LUCY HOST NEW UNSCRIPTED SERIES "THE PACK" FOR AMAZON PRIME VIDEO

The Series, Slated to Premiere in Late 2020, Will Take Dogs and Their Human Companions On the Ultimate Adventure of a Lifetime to Celebrate Their Bond

The Winning Duo Will Take Home a Life-Changing Prize for Themselves and an Animal Charity of Their Choice

CULVER CITY, Calif. - Aug. 6, 2020 - Amazon Studios today announced The Pack, a new global unscripted series that celebrates the unrivaled bond between dogs and their human companions. Hosted by Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn and her canine co-host Lucy, the series features twelve teams of dogs and their humans on an epic adventure across multiple continents. Filmed earlier this year, Amazon Original series The Pack will premiere later in 2020 on Amazon Prime Video in more than 200 countries and territories.

At stake is a life-changing monetary prize for the winning duo ($500,000) and the animal charity of their choice ($250,000). Additionally, The Pack donated $250,000 during filming to multiple charities and animal rescue organizations in each country, helping to pay it forward to dogs and those who love them around the world. To win the monetary prize for themselves and their charity, the teams will have to depend on their understanding of one another's strengths and weaknesses and prove to have the strongest bond in the pack. In each locale, the human and dog duos will face fun and exciting challenges, designed in concert with a team of accredited veterinarians and certified dog experts that also accompany the group on their exciting journey, making sure it is a positive experience for everyone. The Pack is produced by Amazon Studios and Renegade 83, an Entertainment One company. Jay Bienstock with Jay Renfroe and David Garfinkle of Renegade 83 serve as Executive Producers.

"The Pack is an uplifting and exhilarating new unscripted series, celebrating one of the most unique and universally-recognized relationships we have - between people and their best friends," said Albert Cheng, Co-Head of Television at Amazon Studios. "Our Amazon Prime customers around the world will go on an adventure unlike any other as these impressive dogs and their humans navigate challenges as teams, making a difference along the way. The Pack is a great addition to our growing slate of global competition series."

"I have overcome many obstacles in life, but one thing that has reigned true during good times and bad has been the love of my dogs," said Lindsey Vonn. "Like many times before, Lucy will be by my side on yet another one of life's adventures, and I'm excited for everyone to watch and cheer on these incredible contestants and their beloved companions."

Derby came into Kentucky's life at a low point, and he helped get Kentucky through the hard times and start a new life in San Diego. Together they are inseparable.

Duchess and Lucy's bond began when Duchess was four months old. With a toddler and baby already in tow, Lucy decided to adopt Duchess from Southern California Labrador Retriever Rescue. But as the years went on, it's pretty clear that Duchess was the one doing the rescuing all along. The unconditional love, security, companionship and emotional support Duchess has provided Lucy, and her kids has gotten their family through some of life's most devastating losses and obstacles. Not only has Duchess saved the lives and hearts of Lucy and her family, but Duchess is also about to win over your hearts as well! This duo may be the oldest female team on The Pack and viewed as a couple of underdogs...but never underestimate the inner strength of a mom and her lab. Lucy and Duchess are here to prove you CAN teach an old dog (and old broad) new tricks!
