Los Angeles An arbitrator ruled that actor Kevin Spacey had breached his contract with the production company behind “House of Cards.” The ruling awards, MRC, the show’s production company, about $31 million. Spacey, who starred in the Netflix drama, was fired in 2017, following several accusations of misconduct. In a 2019 lawsuit, MRC alleged the Oscar-winning actor’s dismissal cost the production tens of millions of dollars. The Beverly Hills studio had to “scrap all of the development and writing that previously had been done over the course of several months, shelve two episodes of the final season that had already been shot with Spacey’s performance, and rewrite in just a handful of weeks an entire season of the Show omitting Spacey’s character,” MRC said in its petition.
