LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Netflix Inc's groundbreaking political drama "House of Cards" will end after its upcoming sixth season, the company said on Monday, one day after a sexual misconduct allegation emerged against star Kevin Spacey.
Netflix <NFLX.O> also said in a statement that it was "deeply troubled" about an allegation made against Spacey by actor Anthony Rapp who said Spacey had made a sexual advance to him in 1986, when Rapp was 14 years old.
Spacey said in a Twitter post on Sunday that he was "beyond horrified" to hear Rapp's story of the encounter, which he said he did not remember. He wrote that he owed Rapp a "sincere apology" for what he said would have been "deeply inappropriate drunken behavior."
A representative for Spacey did not immediately respond to Reuters for comment.
