House Of Cards Season 3 Premiere Date: Netflix Cast and Plot Spoilers News

After the thrilling end to House of Cards Season 2, fans of this Netflix original series are anxiously waiting for the Season 4 premiere date to arrive. However, it looks like the drama-filled season of Claire (Robin Wright) and Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) will have fans waiting longer than initially expected.

The third season is expected to air around early 2015 despite some hiccups regarding Maryland tax laws. The show's last two seasons were filmed in Baltimore but the location was under threat after a dispute broke out regarding tax incentives. The producers were rethinking and considering filming in another state because of this, however the situation now appears to have been resolved, and those behind the show have indicated that there should be no significant delays to the final release date..

There is no exact date yet, but it is anticipated to return around February of next year, as did Season 2. The show's production staff has not confirmed this date though.

Release date issues aside, fans are eagerly waiting to learn about what is to happen in the third season.

Rumor has it that Season 3 will feature foreign affairs, specifically with Russia, which means that Russian actors will be joining in. Some Russian actors have reportedly been meeting the show's producers. Members of an all-girl political band, particularly Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda "Nadya" Tolokonnikova, will reportedly be part of the new season.

Netflix has neither confirmed nor denied the involvement of the two Russian actors.

There are still many questions that fans want to have answered; Is Rachel going to be Frank's next victim? What is in store for President Underwood?

Doug Stamper is likely to return to the show even though his character is believed to be already dead. This is because he has been featured in some promotional materials for House of Cards Season 3, indicating that he might not be dead after all.

In an interview with the Hufftington Post, Michael Kelly mentioned that he is unsure whether his character is to return. "I don't know -- they haven't officially said," Michael said.

"I have my fingers crossed," he added.
