Welcome Claire Underwood, The New ‘House of Cards’ President

Netflix just dropped the first look at the final season of the show

by Hayden Manders

As per usual, Netflix interrupted our collective mass viewing programming with a message from the president. They did it right before Trump's inauguration, they've done it right before the biggest awards of the 90th Academy Awards.

Here, now, welcome House of Cards' President Claire Underwood. "We're just getting started," she says, breaking the fourth wall. 

Indeed. Robin Wright, the true star of House of Cards, has officially taken over as lead. Netflix announced her as Kevin Spacey's replacement following him being accused of sexual abuse by Anthony Rapp. This upcoming season will be the show's last. “We are excited to bring closure to fans,” Ted Sarandos said in an announcement. Nothing but respect for our female president.
