U.S. President Frank Underwood will take office on February 27, 2015.
(Spoiler alert … oops)
House of Cards, Netflix’s first major breakout hit, stars Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright as a Washington, D.C., couple ruthlessly moving up the ladder to the Oval Office.
Renewed for a third season, the show picks up after Spacey’s Vice President Francis Underwood assumes the role of commander-in-chief after his predecessor resigns, the result of a series of political (and lethal) intrigues.
The show made its announcement for the season three debut via Twitter, and completely in character:

Adapted from a BBC miniseries, House of Cards — the show that put the online streaming service on the popular culture map — was the first online-only television series nominated for both Primetime Emmy and Golden Globe awards.
As Netflix debuts all episodes of a series at once – and Feb. 27 is on a Friday – expect a lot of binge watching throughout that weekend.
