Asked recently what fans should expect for the upcoming fourth season of the American political drama TV series “House of Cards” on Netflix, Oscar-winning veteran actor Kevin Spacey said that he is actually wary about his character Frank Underwood when the show returns next year.
He said that Frank, as president of the United States, and as former husband to Claire Underwood, should carefully watch his step and be wary of what his ex-wife is planning against him, details Venture Capital Post.
Spacey hinted that Claire will be cooking up a lot of things to bring Frank down and the president should be ready for it so that he can survive the biggest onslaught on his political career.
The actor added that Frank should start looking at all the possibilities of how Claire would get back to him because he believes that the former wife could now do anything she wanted and throw anything at the president.
It has previously been reported that the fourth season of the widely-followed series on Netflix will mark the beginning of Frank’s downfall from his current lofty status as the president of the United States.
Lack of political overtures
While Season 3 “House of Cards” drew positive reviews from critics, most of its loyal fans were actually dissatisfied that there were very little politics during the season and thus resulting to less-than-satisfactory excitement for the show.
But series creator Beau Willimon assured the fans of the show that they should expect a humdinger of a Season 4 as it shall have a full-blown political theme following the blowout breakup of Frank and Claire Underwood during the series finale of Season 3.
It would really be interesting to see how Frank and Claire will go up against each other after three seasons of working together as a team.
Willimon said in a recent interview that the strength of the show is based on the strength of the marriage of Frank and Claire. But when they started exploring the possibility of ending that marriage, it was a decision that they can no longer turn back from so it will be the main focus of the upcoming Season 4 which will air on Netflix sometime in February 2016 most likely.
Interesting coincidence
It would also be an interesting coincidence to the US presidential elections around that time as well since the plot is metaphorically similar to the state of former First Lady Hillary Clinton gunning for the presidency, but not against her husband but someone else.
There will surely be a Claire Underwood for President battlecry in the TV series when Season 4 unfolds and fans of the show would surely get all the political servings that they’ve sorely missed in Season 3.
