Diane Lane and Greg Kinnear have stepped in at the eleventh hour to help House of Cards get over the Kevin Spacey sexual harassment scandal.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, both actors have signed up to the original Netflix drama's sixth and final season.
Filming on the series is expected to resume next week after production was suspended in October. Lane and Kinnear will play siblings on House of Cards, with additional details about their characters being kept firmly under wraps.
The final season of House of Cards will now feature Robin Wright as its solo lead, with Spacey removed from the season entirely.
The disgraced actor was dismissed from his role as Frank Underwood following a string of harassment claims, leaving the series in need of a serious rewrite.
Indeed, Netflix has since reduced the final season's episode order from thirteen to eight (fortunately, only two of those episodes were written when production was first halted).
Several House of Cards crew members have also come forward to accuse Spacey of sexual harassment and assault.
Lane's previous credits include roles in Unfaithful, Under the Tuscan Sun, Hollywoodland, Trumbo and A Walk on the Moon, while Kinnear is known for movies such as As Good as It Gets, Little Miss Sunshine and You've Got Mail.
