HOUSE OF CARDS Returns for Second Season Friday, February 14

The second season of the Netflix original series, from Media Rights Capital, HOUSE OF CARDS, premieres Friday, February 14, 2014. All 13-episodes of the season starring Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey and Golden Globe nominee Robin Wright (SANTA BARBARA), who both received Emmy nominations for their performances in the first season, will be available for members to watch instantly in all territories where Netflix is available.

From director David Fincher, award-winning playwright and Academy Award nominated screenwriter Beau Willimon and Academy Award winner Eric Roth, this critically-acclaimed drama slithers beneath the curtain and through the back halls of greed, sex, love and corruption in modern Washington D.C.

In the second season, Francis (Spacey) and Claire (Wright) Underwood continue their ruthless rise to power as threats mount on all fronts. Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara), an up-and-coming reporter and Francis's former paramour, is inching closer to the truth about his crimes. President Walker's (Michel Gill, "The Good Wife") billionaire confidante Raymond Tusk (Gerald McRaney) demands that Francis reciprocate political favors or face retribution. And Claire must confront the increasing glare of the spotlight as it eats away at her and Francis's once private existence. The Underwood's must overcome these dangers -- past and present -- to avoid losing everything, regardless of collateral damage they leave in their wake.
