House Of Cards Season 3 Premiere: Frank Underwood Returns to Netflix in February
The ruthless Frank Underwood portrayed brilliantly by Kevin Spacey returns to Netflix for the third season of "House of Cards" on February 27th 2015. Aside from a short teaser depicting the fictional President and First Lady boarding Air Force One, we know very little about the plot, characters, or development of the show. Aside from the fact that Frank Underwood is now President Underwood, little has been shared. However recently Mahershala Ali, better known as the lobbyist Remy who we all love to hate and hate to love, opened up about the development of his character in this new season.
Ali told the Hollywood Reporter "I will say that this year is unique in that Remy has landed a really great job, but it's different than what we've seen before. It's not without complication." Us fans know that Remy gets in a little bit of a mix-up regarding whose side he plays for in season 2, an it will be no surprise that we can expect complication and perhaps mischief this time around, especially as Frank Underwood holds the most powerful office in the land.
Ali added "He's in an emotional transition for most of the season, which is great because the character kind of deepens. He's more three dimensional and you learn more about his life outside of the work this season."
"House of Cards" while having cost Netflix just over $100 million to produce the first two seasons, has netted 4 primetime Emmy's so far and a flurry of nominations. "House of Cards" is a political thriller and a re-make of the British show by the same name, which follows a similar character in the British Parliament. If "The Office" is anything to by, American re-makes of British shows tend to do well with audiences here in the States.
If you haven't watched it yet, it is a spectacularly acted, written, and directed show, executive produced by David Fincher (Fight Club, Se7en, The Social Network.) House of Cards season 3 will be available in its entirety on Netflix February 27th.
