The return of House of Cards may be a matter of months away, but very little is known about what to expect when we finally do catch up with President Frank Underwood and First Lady, Claire.
One theory surrounding the forthcoming batch of episodes, however, is that this will serve as the swansong for the Netflix political drama’s lead character, played by Kevin Spacey.
The theory goes that, having used the first four seasons to build up the ‘house of cards,’ the fifth season will see it come crashing down as the shady President Underwood finally gets his comeuppance.
Backing this up is the fact that showrunner Beau Willimon departed last season making way for writers Frank Pugliese and Melissa James Gibson who have overseen the new season which will be unveiled on 30 May.
