Once again, it took Robin Wright not only taking on the fight to keep everyone’s jobs, but also the responsibility of being the new head of the series in a season without Kevin Spacey.
Patricia Clarkson implied the effort put into reworking House of Cards was worth it, as she described the upcoming eight-episode season as “stunning.”
And while some may have originally doubted Wright’s ability to lead the show, they may have been silenced by her chilling Season 5 scenes, or her recent Independence Day message.
Of course, there was also the added bonus of most of the show’s crew, who didn’t have a guaranteed check when the show’s status was in limbo, staying on board to help make the finale happen.
