Deadline reports that just hours after Netflix announced the cancellation of HOUSE OF CARDS following next season, sources say the streaming service is considering multiple spinoff options of the long-running drama series. One may center on Michael Kelly's Doug Stamper character.

Netflix announced the cancellation of the Emmy-nominated political thriller amid a SCANDAL which erupted yesterday involving star Kevin Spacey and Star Trek: Discovery actor and RENT star Anthony Rapp. In an interview with Buzzfeed, Rapp revealed that Spacey made sexual advances on him in 1986, when Rapp was only 14 years old.

Spacey, an Emmy nominee, portrays President Frank Underwood in the show. As of now it remains unclear whether Spacey will be involved in the spinoff series. The actor-producer had played a behind-the-scenes role in show from the start as an executive producer.
