Production is resuming next year on the sixth and final season of House of Cards.

Taping of the political drama was halted in October amid sexual misconduct allegations against star Kevin Spacey.

Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos told a conference Monday of the decision, Variety reported.

The eight-episode season will focus on co-star Robin Wright. No release date has been announced.
