House of Cards Season 6 Trailer
House of Cardshas gone through a very big change between seasons 5 and 6. Star Kevin Spacey was fired in the wake of multiple sexual assault allegations, at which point many wondered if the show would return for a final season at all. Rumors surfaced that the series was done for good, but a vocal online contingency pushed for co-star Robin Wright to be elevated to lead in order to finish things out. And that’sexactly what happened. Wright’s Claire is now the President of the United States, and Spacey’s Francis is dead. As Claire assumes control, she appears to be opposed at all sides. And it’s only a matter of time before the Underwood’s dark past catches up with her.
Season 6 will also introduceDiane LaneandGreg Kinnearas “Annette Shepherd and Bill Shepherd, a sister and brother who inherited Shepherd Unlimited, a leading industrial conglomerate whose family foundations exert a powerful behind-the-scenes force in the American political landscape. The two share a vision for the future of America, as well as a complicated past with the Underwoods.” Meanwhile,Cody Fernplays “Duncan Shepherd, Annette’s ambitious and devoted son, who represents the next generation of DC power players.”
All things considered, this is a very effective trailer.House of Cardshas felt like it’s been spinning its wheels for a few seasons, but there’s a chance season 6 will end things on a high note. At the very least, it’s nice to see Robin Wright in the lead, and in hindsight, I wish she had been the lead on this show from the beginning.
