Netflix Inc. suspended production of “House of Cards” following a sexual harassment allegation against star Kevin Spacey, putting the future of the company’s defining show in jeopardy.
Production of the sixth and final season of the political drama was just getting underway in Baltimore, though Spacey had yet to arrive. Spacey, 58, who stars as venal politician Frank Underwood, was accused of making sexual advances toward a 14-year-old boy more than 30 years ago.
