House of Cards to resume production with Robin Wright as lead

The final season of House of Cards will resume production in 2018 without actor Kevin Spacey.

The star had been filming episodes for the sixth season of the Netflix drama but CEO Ted Sarandos has now revealed that as well as firing the actor, the final episodes will be refocused to center on co-star Robin Wright.

“We are excited to bring closure to fans,” Sarandos said during a conference on Monday, revealing that the 2,000 people who work on the show will get to return to work next year. The final season will be shorter, with just eight episodes. Details of the plot have yet to be released.

It’s also been rumored that Netflix is seeking to launch a House of Cards spin-off, eager to extend the franchise of their flagship show.

Sadly, I had mostly forgotten her after Forrest Gump, but she was very solid in Wonder Woman and Blade Runner 2049.

I haven't watched House of Cards likely won't watch the Spacey seasons, but I'm intrigued by what Wright will do with it.

I hated to think that one guy's transgressions should bring down punishment on so many innocent people.

I wish them continued success.

(I haven't seen any episodes of House of Cards. Is it good?)
