The producer of “House of Cards” has lost an insurance trial over $29 million in production costs incurred due to the firing of Kevin Spacey in 2017.

The producer, Media Rights Capital, argued that its losses should have been covered under Spacey’s cast insurance policy, which would pay out if Spacey was unavailable due to sickness. The producer’s lawyers argued that Spacey was suffering from sex addiction.
