Robin Wright — shown in character as Claire Underwood in Netflix's <em>House of Cards </em>-- will be the lead actor in the final season of the show. Her former co-star Kevin Spacey has been accused of sexual harassment and assault.

Netflix will film eight more episodes of House of Cards, in a final season that will feature female lead Robin Wright — with former star Kevin Spacey cut out of the show completely.
