House of Cards showrunners on finishing the series without Kevin Spacey
Executive producers Melissa James Gibson and Frank Pugliese open up about beating the clock to finish the series after Netflix cut ties with Spacey earlier last year.
Earlier last year, Netflix cut ties with Kevin Spacey following accusations of sexual misconduct, and as a result, production on House of Cards ground to a halt. At the time, it seemed that the series might not return at all, but under extraordinary circumstances, executive producers Melissa James Gibson and Frank Pugliese pulled together a whole new season in record time.
The sixth and final season of House of Cards comes out today on Netflix. Gibson and Pugliese joined Tom Power from a studio in New York to talk about the mad dash to remake an entrie season following Spacey's departure.
