"House of Cards" will resume production in 2018 with Robin Wright as lead.

The sixth, and final season of the show will consist of just eight episodes and unlike the previous seasons, will focus on Robin Wright’s character, Claire Underwood.

This comes after Netflix fired the show's former lead actor Kevin Spacey over sexual misconduct allegations.

The entertainment company had said that it would hold conversations with the producers of the political drama to see if the production, which was earlier suspended, could resume without Spacey.

The production, which kicked off in November was temporarily suspended by Netflix following sexual harassment allegations made against Kevin Spacey, who was accused of making unwanted sexual advance toward a 14-year-old boy in the 1980s.

Spacey had made an unwanted sexual advance toward Anthony Rapp when the later was 14 and Spacey was in his 20s.

Hours after the allegation, Spacey took to Twitter to apologize for his actions, describing it as a "drunken behaviour," and officially came out as gay.

"House of Cards," which made its debut in 2013, tells the story of a Congressman who works with his equally conniving wife to exact revenge on the people who betrayed him.

Netflix also said it would not release Spacey's film about writer Gore Vidal.
