New House of Cards teaser savagely reveals fate of Frank Underwood

**SPOILERS FOR HOUSE OF CARDS SEASON SIX**

Kevin Spacey ain’t coming back for the last season of HOUSE OF CARDS. That much we know. What we didn’t know was what was going to happen to him and how. A new teaser for the upcoming final season answers the first part of that question in a savage way, finding the new president of the United States, Claire Underwood (Robin Wright), talking smack right over his grave. Oh, how so deliciously, awesomely cold-blooded of her.

The end of season five found Frank Underwood (Spacey) in the middle of some political turmoil as Claire, his wife and vice president, worked to take the role of president from him. The ads for the show have been using the phrase “My Turn” to show that Claire is ready to take on the duties of the president – and what better way to do that is to show her mocking her late husband right at his grave. Did I say that was cold-blooded?

This new season will gain a lot of attention for many reasons, namely to learn how Frank died and to watch Claire take on the leadership role. We can probably surmise that Frank died of some sort of heart attack, a clean way to tie up that issue. But my hope is it was something much more dramatic, maybe involving something more nefarious. I suppose we will know for sure the series premieres on November 2 on Netflix.
