**The “House of Cards” crew is still getting paid** through the suspension of the show’s sixth season, a source close to production confirmed Tuesday, but local vendors are already feeling the loss of a deep-pocketed customer and the cachet of being associated with a hit series, [reports The Baltimore Sun](http://www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/tv/bs-fe-house-of-cards-crew-paid-during-suspension-20171107-story.html?ref=capitolcommunicator.com), which added that production company Media Rights Capital “is paying the show’s crew while on hiatus, sources confirmed, but could not detail how much or for how long. Officials with Media Rights Capital would not comment on this matter.

“Media Rights Capital and distributor [Netflix](http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/business/media-industry/netflix-ORCRP010656-topic.html?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) announced the suspension of the show’s final season last Tuesday, days after actor Anthony Rapp alleged that executive producer and star [Kevin Spacey](http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/entertainment/kevin-spacey-PECLB003744-topic.html?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) had made sexual advances toward him in the 1980s, when he was 14 years old. Since then, several men, including former “House of Cards” production assistant and actor Harry Dreyfuss, son of thespian Richard Dreyfuss, have also made sexual misconduct allegations against Spacey.

“On Friday night, Netflix and Media Rights Capital announced that Spacey, who played ruthless politican Frank Underwood in the series, had been fired.

““Netflix will not be involved with any further production of ‘House of Cards’ that includes Kevin Spacey,” a Netflix spokesman said in a statement Friday. “We will continue to work with MRC during this hiatus time to evaluate our path forward as it relates to the show.”

“During its run, the production, which used sound stages in Harford County, has pumped more than half-a-billion dollars into the state’s economy and patronized many area businesses.

“Caterers and fast-food restaurants, carpet and furniture outlets, music and antique stores, warehouses, auto parts dealers and paint suppliers — all are included among the show’s hundreds of Maryland vendors during more than five years of filming, often in and around Baltimore, at locations including the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, the Baltimore Museum of Art and The Baltimore Sun.”
