On October 18, 2017, production of the sixth season of House of Cards appeared to be already in progress, without an official renewal announcement by Netflix, when a gunman opened fire near a House of Cards set outside Baltimore. Production company Media Rights Capital and Netflix stated that production on the show was not impacted by the shooting. Production on the series was shut down on October 30, 2017, following the sexual assault allegations towards Kevin Spacey by actor Anthony Rapp, who publicly stated that Spacey had made a sexual advance on him in 1986, when he was 14 years old. Furthermore, Netflix announced its decision to cancel the series after the upcoming season, though multiple sources stated that the decision to end the series was made prior to Rapp 's accusation. The following day, Netflix and MRC announced that production on the season would be suspended indefinitely, in order to review the current situation and to address any concerns of the cast and crew. On November 3, 2017, Netflix announced that they will no longer be associated with Spacey in any capacity whatsoever. On December 4, 2017, Ted Sarandos, Netflix 's chief content officer, announced that production would restart in 2018 with Robin Wright in the lead, without Spacey 's involvement, and revealed that the sixth and final season of the show would consist of eight episodes. The latest developments significantly affected the production process, as the cast and crew were forced to scrap plans and start working on a new script for the season in a finite amount of time, due to other contractual obligations. On January 31, 2018, House of Cards resumed production, with new cast members including Diane Lane and Greg Kinnear, who were later joined by Australian actor Cody Fern in a regular role. Filming for the sixth season of House of Cards was completed on May 25, 2018.
