Everything you need to know before the premiere of season 6 of Netflix's 'House of Cards'

'House of Cards' has had quite a makeover since the final episode of season 5 aired in May 2017. Here's everything you need to know.

The sixth season of Netflix's 'House of Cards' returns to the streaming service on November 2, with Robin Wright's Claire Underwood all set to take center stage. The premiere will mark the end of an era, with the show having announced the network to the world as a genuine competitor in original programming upon its premiere in 2013, and audiences will hope it gets the ending it deserves.

While the producers and creator Beau Willimon had confirmed previously that the intention was to see Claire instated as the president of the country on a full-time basis in the future, that plan was quite obviously fast-tracked following Spacey's sudden dismissal. The end of the previous season had already seen Claire claiming the throne for herself. We see her ignoring Frank's calls for a complete pardon with the fourth-wall breaking, chapter-closing "My turn" setting things up quite nicely for the next installment. But despite the route seeming straightforward, 'House of Cards' would have to jump through multiple hoops and avoid numerous obstacles to get to this upcoming sixth season.
