After sacking Kevin Spacey, to move the story ahead in season six of House of Cards, Netflix added Oscar nominees Diane Lane and Greg Kinnear to the regular roster for the cast. Kevin Spacey, who was the main male lead and executive producer of the show, was fired after Star Trek: Discovery star Anthony Rapp accused him of sexual misconduct. Production for the season six of House of Cards was put on hold for months while the writers reworked the script to put Robin Wright's character Claire Underwood in charge of the story. The streaming giant also shortened the length of the season from 13 episodes to 8 episodes. The release date for season six of House of Cards is yet to be determined.
