Netflix has done some house cleaning in 2017, cutting high-profile, expensive shows like "Sense8" and "The Get Down." It's also killed flops like "Girlboss" and "Gypsy" after only one season.

On Monday, the streaming service confirmed to Business Insider that "House of Cards," its first big original series, will end with its sixth season.

The conclusion of the show has been in the works since the summer, according to The Hollywood Reporter. But the announcement did come the day after the show's star, Kevin Spacey, was accused of sexual misconduct by actor Anthony Rapp.

On Tuesday, Netflix suspended production on season six until further notice. Netflix said that it needs "time to review the current situation and to address any concerns of our cast and crew."

Netflix historically has canceled very few shows — only about nine (or up to 12, depending on how you count). But if CEO Reed Hastings gets his way, expect more in the future.

"We've canceled very few shows," Hastings said at the Code Conference in May. "I'm always pushing the content team. We have to take more risk. You have to try more crazy things. Because we should have a higher cancel rate overall."

Here are the nine shows Netflix has killed, along with their critic and audience ratings from Metacritic.
