Release Date for Final Season of House of Cards Revealed

The sixth and final Season of House of Cards will premiere on Netflix November 2, 2018.

The series previously centred on the exploits of House Majority Whip Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) who schemes, blackmails and murders his way to presidency with the help of his Lady Macbeth-esque wife Claire (Golden Globe winner Robin Wright).

However, following Netflix cutting ties with Spacey due to sexual misconduct allegations, the new series will solely focus on Wright’s character with Frank Underwood being written out of the show.

As Spacey exits the series, actors Diane Lane (Unfaithful) and Greg Kinnear (Little Miss Sunshine) have been added to the cast.

A teaser for the new season can be seen below.

In 2013, House of Cards became the first original online series to receive major recognition from the Primetime Emmy Awards. It has received 53 Emmy nominations to date, with seven wins -- including the first major Emmy for a streaming service with David Fincher’s win for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series.
