I thought they already said it was going to end at S2 last year?

Long before that.
In November 2022, it was renewed for a second and final season, which is expected to release sometime in 2025.

This is only news because of Gaiman's news.
Wasn't aware of that. I feel better now
Bugger.
He is, indeed.
Oops.
I'd be interested in whether this was related to Gaiman being that involved with production, or if there was viewership data that suggested it wouldn't sufficiently recover the costs of production and this was a convenient out.
I suspect if they thought it would be profitable enough they'd go ahead, considering their continued support of controversial figures.
Edit:
Skimmed the article, was just already planned to end with season 2 prior to allegations, so they didn't have a hand in it.
I think you are right hell, house of cards got one more season after spacey was kicked off the show.
First of all, wow @ the commenters who want to support this disgusting piece of subhuman garbage despite all that he’s admitted to
Second of all, go and actually read the article if his work is supposedly that important to you. The show is simply ending at season two, which has been planned since before the allegations broke. This appears to have nothing to do with his grotesque, horrifying crimes
What has he admitted to? I've read a bunch of allegations, and from what I've read he claimed that everything was consensual. Perhaps I missed more recent news or something though.
No, that is what I’m referring to specifically. If you’ve read the accounts it’s sickening for him to say it was all consensual. It undeniably demonstrates that he is a narcissistic abuser.
His entire statement is actually deranged tbh. Just read it. Reiterating over and over again that he’s confident nothing he did is per se illegal. Nevertheless he is aggressively willing to “put in the work needed to deserve our trust”. Multi paragraph tangent about the unrelated things he believes he did wrong that he wants to apologize for (being…emotionally unavailable and careless with people’s hearts? No details provided. Extremely weird thing to bring up in light of the extreme nature of the accusations that he “half recognizes”)
Anyway, he’s left it as an exercise for us to imagine which half of the allegations he ‘recognizes’. I don’t see even the most charitable interpretation as being excusable
I figured this one was too good to last. Such a love letter to the comic fans in season 1.
And shit like this is why I cancelled Netflix almost 2 years ago and haven’t looked back. I’m just sad to miss the stand up specials that have come out in that time; but not so sad that I would resub.
You can always pirate the specials and find a way to send the comedians some love another way, like buying merch or seeing them live.
This is very true.
