Netflix’s ‘House of Cards’ Releases Teaser for Season 4 [Watch]
In a bold move last night during the Republican National Debate, Netflix ran a teaser for Season 4 of the highly acclaimed and Emmy-winning series "House of Cards."
According to CNet, the teaser spot looked more like a simple campaign commercial that most viewers would either tune out or flip the channel. It featured many of the themes that current and real-life politicians use in their advertising, which touts a specific message for incumbent candidates.
But it was also a calculated decision by the streaming network to run it during the debate, considering most of the people watching the debate were doing so because of theatrics that are inherent to the host of candidates. So why wouldn't they want to see which one of them would be bold enough to be at the end of the commercial.
But as viewers quickly realized, it was in fact Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) at the end of the commercial, which turned out to be a teaser for Season 4 of the show.
"America, I'm just getting started," Underwood said in the commercial.
That was quickly followed up with a website address that said FU2016.com, which played of the theme that came about on the first episode of Season 2 after Underwood murdered Zoe Barnes. He was given a set of cufflinks by his secret service bodyguard that had his initials on them. He revealed them after he talked to the audience, and they simply sat side-by-side on his bathroom sink. They said, "FU," which plays directly off the expletive it is known for.
The website is actually a mock website for Underwood's campaign, which is coincidentally about to play out at the same time the real life primaries will be playing out.
Season 4 of the show will be premiering on Netflix on March 4, 2016.
Watch the teaser below.
