“House of Cards” is one of the more unusual shows on TV right now, from its basic premise to the way everything about it is produced and presented. It’s a show that makes viewers root for the bad guy, and people have been discussing that particular element of it quite a lot. It’s also a show that’s not afraid to take risks with its characters and story, and according to some new rumors about the upcoming third season, this trend will continue with full force in the new episodes.
There are indications that the new season will immediately open with a dramatic event, and according to reports it will be related to Frank Underwood. It’s not yet known exactly what the character will go through, but considering what the show has done in its previous episodes, it’s safe to assume that the possibilities are quite extensive.
Claire may also get pregnant, according to a different set of rumors, although details about that have been sketchy as well, with some indications that the pregnancy might come with a surprise attached to it. Again, this would be nothing out of the ordinary, given the show’s previous developments, and if pregnancy does get played into the storyline in some way, it’s practically to be expected that it will have some special conditions to it.
Kevin Spacey has been facing some criticism outside of “House of Cards” recently, although for reasons somewhat related to the show. According to some critics, his recent role in “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare” portrayed a character very similar to the one in “House of Cards”, which was seen as a sign of unoriginality. While Spacey himself doesn’t have complete control over the way his character is developed in a production like that, critics have been pointing out that his entire acting style was similar to that of his character in the TV show. The game’s animations were heavily based on motion-captured scenes where Spacey was performing the role live, so there might be some merit to criticizing him in particular.
In any case, this criticism has been mild in the overall picture, and the majority of opinions aimed at both Spacey and the overall style of the show have been strongly positive. Fans have been eager for a continuation of the series, and speculations about the contents of the new season have been running wild. The new season is currently in production and is expected to begin airing around February next year (judging from the release trends for the show’s previous installments), so fans have a few months to go before they find out how each character’s story will develop in the third season.
