House of Cards has suspended production indefinitely on its sixth and final season in the wake of allegations that star and executive producer Kevin Spacey made a sexual advance on a young actor more than 30 years ago. Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of making an unwanted sexual advance toward him in 1986, when he was a 14-year-old actor on Broadway. A spokesperson for Netflix said Monday that the decision to end the show had been made before the Buzzfeed report. The revelation has also resulted in the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences withdrawing an honour it was set to present Spacey this fall. Apart from House of Cards, Spacey is also set to appear in the forthcoming Ridley Scott drama All the Money in the World, scheduled for release in December.
