For House of Cards, this is it – the beginning of the end.
Along with Orange is the New Black, Netflix’s thrilling political drama quickly established itself as one of the streaming service’s true powerhouse shows. After five seasons and the subsequent firing of Kevin Spacey, though, House of Cards is now ready to come to a close. But not before Claire Underwood has a crack at the White House.
She’ll do so on November 2nd, when the sixth and final season premieres and brings back most, if not all of the core cast, who will help send off the show in memorable fashion. And if this latest trailer is anything to go by, it looks like we’re in for another round of gripping political intrigue and tons of juicy material, promising an explosive end to the Underwood saga. It’s a shame that House of Cards has to conclude, but at least it looks like it’ll be going out in style.
In Spacey’s place, the cast for season 6 of the hit series has been beefed up with two new actors, Academy Award nominees Diane Lane and Greg Kinnear, who will play Annette and Bill Shepherd, described as sharing “a vision for the future of America, as well as a complicated past with the Underwoods.” Meanwhile, Michael Kelly, Jayne Atkinson, Patricia Clarkson and Constance Zimmer will all be returning to reprise their roles.
House of Cards arrives on Netflix on November 2nd for one last run of eight episodes, when we’ll finally get to see what Claire Underwood does while sitting in the big chair. And it’s safe to say that at this point, we can hardly wait.
