"House of Cards" saw power hungry Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) lie, manipulate, and even murder his way into becoming the President of the United States.
However, after a series of sexual assault allegations against Spacey surfaced, Netflix decided to cut ties with the actor. In November, Netflix announced a sixth and final eight-episode season starring Robin Wright, who plays Frank's wife, Claire. Production resumed on the season in January, with two new co-stars added — Diane Lane and Greg Kinnear.
