A corresponding statement came following numerous allegations of sexual harassment against the Oscar-winning actor.
Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said that the final season of the popular TV show is going into production next year, but Kevin Spacey won’t star in it.
“I can actually give you some news in the room today, because we have been in arrangement to produce a sixth season of ‘House of Cards.’ It’ll be an eight episode season that’ll start production early ’18, and it will not involve Kevin Spacey,” Sarandos announced at the UBS Global Media and Communications Conference in New York.
The Netflix representative added that the last season of the show will star only Robin Wright as Claire Underwood.
“We’re really excited about bringing some closure to the show for fans,” Sarandos said, adding that the final season will have eight episodes.
The statement comes amid a wave of sex abuse accusations voiced against Spacey, with people working on the set of “House of Cards” among them.
