'House of Cards' season 6 preview: Claire Underwood is taking center stage as the Commander-in-Chief
After a hiatus of 1.5 years — for reasons beyond the showrunners or the producers' control — 'House of Cards' will be returning for its sixth and final season on November 2nd and will have Robin Wright's Claire Underwood as its new commander-in-chief, in every sense of the word. Season 5 was arguably the series' most tumultuous one yet, filled with enough scheming, twists, turns, and betrayals to keep you guessing every step of the way.
Of course, the biggest betrayal would, in the end, come from none other than the man trusted to carry the show: Kevin Spacey. Spacey's ruthless, Machiavelian, and opportunistic Frank Underwood had proven to be quite the capable antagonist (or anti-hero if you will), leaving you often questioning whether it was his character's complete lack of a moral compass that made 'House of Cards' so intriguing and entertaining or whether it was maybe because of his flawless execution. One way or the other, we'll come to know because Spacey is no longer a part of the show.
