Claire Underwood Leads The Way In ‘House Of Cards’ Season 6 Teaser

Claire Underwood is finally where she belongs on “House of Cards:” the Oval Office. And her reign has only just begun. The upcoming season looks to pick up right where Claire, played by Robin Wright, left off in the previous season after looking straight into the camera and simply saying, “My turn.”

Netflix took full advantage of the politically charged Academy Awards last night to drop the first Kevin Spacey-less teaser for season six of “House of Cards.” Production for the show’s sixth season was halted in 2017 when sexual misconduct allegations around the former star surfaced. Filming was put on an indefinite hiatus as the writers, cast, and crew figured out the best way to proceed. In November, Spacey was fired from the show (and Hollywood, in general), and the original plans were reworked to have production begin again at the end of January.

Following his firing, Netflix stated that they will “not be involved with any further production of ‘House of Cards’ that includes Kevin Spacey.” Which is good for them since Wright has long been the best part of the show, in our opinion.

At Wright’s side this season will be familiar faces Michael Kelly, Jayne Atkinson, Derek Cecil, Campbell Scott, Patricia Clarkson, Boris McGiver, and Constance Zimmer. The show will also be welcoming guest and recurring stars in Diane Lane, Greg Kinnear, and Cody Fern.

This will be the sixth, and final, season for Netflix’s former flagship drama series. When it premiered in 2013, it became the first original online series to be nominated at the Emmys. And, under David Fincher’s masterful direction, the show took home a win for Outstanding Directing. While Fincher has mostly stepped away from the show, he remains on as an executive producer with Robin Wright, Joshua Donen, Dana Brunetti, Eric Roth , Michael Dobbs, and Andrew Davies .

All eight episodes of the show’s farewell season are expected to premiere on Netflix later this year.
