Donald Trump isn’t the only one to be taking on the title of President on Inauguration Day. President Frank Underwood from House of Cards, remember him?
Kevin Spacey plays the role of the charismatic and scheming Underwood, and he is getting ready for more devious political machinations in the upcoming season 5. A trailer was released by Netflix on Friday, and it was announced that the next season would debut on 30th May.
In the video, you can see the voiceover of a group of children who are reciting the Pledge of Allegiance while the camera slowly pans away from an upside-down American flag, which is essentially a sign of distress. On a cloudy day, the flag waves in the wind and the US Capitol can be seen in the background.
The tweet with this House of Cards teaser comes with the message “We make the terror.” The quote was delivered by Underwood during the finale of Season 4. Is it possible that Netflix is making a political statement? Keep in mind that the Inauguration Day timing is not at all by accident. It involves a smart bit of marketing which is designed to attract attention on a day when a country which is divided swears in a new president.
The Season 5 release date for House of Cards has been confirmed, and people who are interested in following Frank Underwood antics don’t have to wait long. Within a few hours of Donald Trump being sworn in as the 45th President of United States of America, Netflix dropped the first trailer for the next season of its famed political thriller.
The title reveals very little about what will happen in the White House. However, it shows fans where they will be able to stream the show. It will release on 30th May so fans might want to add it to your calendar. Keep in mind that Netflix will add the entire season in one drop.
Therefore, binge watchers can get their dose in one single day without having to wait for any periodic episodes. Meanwhile, for letting users stream the show, this will be the first year when House of Cards fans will be able to download the entire series on the first day itself.
Shortly before Christmas, Netflix added offline viewing and downloads. Therefore, it is a lot easier to indulge yourself in hours of your favorite show just in one single sitting.
Meanwhile, one can understand from the trailer that things are about to get real threatening. The Underwoods will be sure to bring terror this season of House of Cards. It was promised in the previous season when the TV president declared that they make the terror.
Kevin Spacey will reprise his role as ruthless president of United States of America, Frank Underwood. Robin Wright, his wife, will be playing the role of the ambitious First Lady Claire. E! News reports that recently Mahershaler Ali, the Moonlight star, revealed that for the next season, he wouldn’t be playing the character, Remy.
We saw the previous season of House of Cards end with the Underwoods attempting to end a hostage crisis through a negotiation which will be quite advantageous during his election. However, what occurred was not pleasant at all, and the terrorists ended up live-streaming the death.
In the meantime, Boris McGiver, who plays the role of Hammerschmidt, released an article about Frank’s dealing with Remy, Jackie (played by Molly Parker) and President Walker (played by Michel Gill).
