The HBO racing drama series "Luck," which stars Dustin Hoffman in his first recurring television role, has been canceled following the deaths of three horses during production, including one who died earlier this week.
The horse-racing drama had premiered less than two months ago and had already been renewed for a second season. On Tuesday, the animal rights group PETA announced that it had sent a complaint to Los Angeles law enforcement following a tip about the accidents from an "insider" at a California race track, where part of the show is filmed. The group said it had called for an investigation.
