Oscar-nominated writer Beau Willimon, who adapted the BBC political drama for Netflix and producer Media Rights Capital, and who acts as showrunner on the U.S. version, will also attend, giving the first sneak peak of the series.

Spacey, Willimon and Oscar-nominated director David Fincher are executive producers on the one-hour drama series, which is set in political backrooms of Washington D.C. Fincher also directed the series pilot.
