Netflix issued a statement saying they “not be involved with any further production of House of Cards that includes Kevin Spacey,” but would “continue to work with producers during this hiatus time to evaluate our path forward as it relates to the show .” Thankfully they have found that path.
There is no news on how they with extract Frank from the current plotline, although an off-screen death would appear most likely.
