Good, now they can focus on making the show end well instead of stretching it any more.

FYI: Multiple sources tell TVLine, which first reported the news, that the decision to wrap up the series was made months ago and not in response to the controversy surrounding its Golden Globe-winning star.

Will President Underwood be impeached due to recent indiscretions

Cancelled isn't the same thing as ending. The show was never going to go for ever and given the drastic drop in quality I was going to stop watching if the next season wasn't the last.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

It was probably going to end anyways because, as mentioned, the quality has dropped like a rock. If it were solely due to allegations, they probably would have just killed off Frank if they intended to keep the show going.

it should be noted that it was suggested 6 months ago by the creator of the show that year 6 would be the last

people are making more of this news that needed--but it does get more people talking about the series as it tumbled this last year

 

[Bjorn Le]

It's not surprising six is the final but it's clear the announcement timing is not a coincidence.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Good, hopefully this season is faster paced and they tie up all the loose ends. I'm not sure what more they could have written in.

 

[izzy]

timing is interesting if its unrelated

 

[Carlzner]

Loved the first few seasons but I haven't even finished the latest one.

 

[Stylizer1]

Who should be his stand in?

 

[Pilky01]

I was enthralled for the first two seasons but its been all downhill since.

Haven't even looked at the latest season on Netflix. Just don't care.

But also truth is an "over the top" political thriller loses a lot of it's intrigue with Donald Trump being the actual, real life President.

House of Cards spinoffs in the works at Netflix

[Fantomas]

I bailed halfway through season 2. The combination of smugness and bad writing was too much.

 

[NyQuil]

I was getting the feeling that they were running out of plot and character development anyway.

Doug Stamper? The least charismatic character in the history of television?

now this is note worthy

did a quick google search right when the last season was announced and I found several articles saying this would be the last season--but due to the news Mr Touchy--I am having trouble finding the articles that had an interview with the producers

Doug Stamper? The least charismatic character in the history of television?

Love the actor but the character is way too boring.

Surprised they’re suspending production. After the s5 conclusion, you can kill off Frank and continue on with Claire and her downfall for the final season I guess. I don’t know. I won’t lose sleep over not getting a proper conclusion though — that’s how bad the show has gotten.

 

[Pilky01]

Stamper was great at first when he was just Spacey's amoral, sycophantic errand boy.

God the first season and a half of this show were just so good. but once they dropped the Zoey Barnes plot line I checked out on the show entirely.

 

[donghabs98]

They should have followed the UK House of Cards model and ended things after season 3. At the most season 4. You could tell they were running out of material and were stretching out weak storylines to fill in episodes.

Frankly considering how things ended in season 5, killing off Frank doesn't seem out of place.

Now this would be a cancellation.
