House of Cards, the Netflix drama about Washington intrigue and backstabbing, has been a huge hit with audiences. They will be pleased to learn Season Three of the dark drama will premiere on February 27, 2015. Screenwriter Beau Willimon once told Politico that the show’s lead character, House majority leader Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey), was based on several figures: “He’s a ruthless politician, the ilk of Richard III and LBJ. A little bit of Dick Cheney, all sort of wrapped into one. Maybe a little Hannibal Lecter, too. He’s just this deliciously semi-sociopathic guy who — with his equally ambitious wife, Claire, played by Robin Wright — is going to stop at nothing to climb his way up the ladder.”

I can’t wait for the next installment in the adventures of Washington’s Power Monger Couple.
