Netflix reported a loss of $39 million last quarter — and it looks like it can thank Kevin Spacey for the bill.
The company announced the Q4 loss on Monday, citing “unexpected” costs due to “unreleased content.” Chief Financial Officer David Wells gave another hint at the source of the revenue loss, saying it was, “related to the societal reset around sexual harassment.” No one named names, but an unnamed CNN source confirmed the cause was “axed Kevin Spacey projects.”
Following reports that Spacey had sexually harassed and assaulted employees on the set of House of Cards in November, the streaming service announced it was severing ties with the actor. Production on the sixth season of the show was temporarily suspended, resuming after Netflix announced the final season would continue without its leading star. Read more…

Netflix’s zero-tolerance stance on sexual abuse allegations is coming into question.
The Huffington Post reported Monday on a conversation between a woman who has accused Danny Masterson, star of Netflix show The Ranch, of raping her; and an executive at the company, who were at the same youth soccer game over the weekend. When the woman confronted the executive, director of global kids content Andy Yeatman, he told her that he and other Netflix higher-ups “don’t believe” the accusers – without knowing that she was one.

Netflix will resume production on House of Cards without Kevin Spacey in early 2018, Mashable has confirmed.
Season 6, which was previously announced to be the final season of the political drama, will be 8 episodes long.
Filming was put on hiatus at the end of October and Spacey was suspended while Netflix and production studio Media Rights Capital conducted an internal review following allegations of misconduct against their star.
“We were really excited we could get to an agreement… for the conclusion of the show,” said Netflix boss Ted Sarandos, speaking Monday at UBS’s Global Media and Communications Conference, per Variety. Read more…

As details and still more sexual misconduct allegations against Kevin Spacey come to light, yet another of his upcoming projects is suffering the consequences: the Ridley Scott film All the Money in the World.
Set to premiere next week as the closing gala at AFI Fest – the Los Angeles festival that has launched many a late Oscar contender – All the Money in the World was pulled from the lineup Monday, according to its production company TriStar Pictures.
Though there was already Oscar buzz around All the Money, it appears TriStar and distributor Sony is attempting to go the same route as Netflix, which distanced itself from the star of its hit show House of Cards by not only firing Spacey but removing him from promotional shots a couple days ago.

New sexual harassment allegations against Kevin Spacey have surfaced in a CNN report, with several House of Cards crew members claiming to have witnessed or been victims of the actor’s harassment on set of the Netflix series over the past few years.
Accusers who spoke to CNN under condition of anonymity included a former production assistant, a former camera assistant, a former female production assistant, and several other crew members — eight in total — who claimed that Spacey’s routinely predatory behavior created, according to the production assistant, “a toxic environment for young men who had to interact with him at all in the crew, cast, background actors.” Read more…
