The Underwoods

In its first four seasons, House of Cards has been a gleefully exaggerated portrait of politics as a wicked game. As Season 5 begins, Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey), a Democrat, is still in campaign mode, doing everything in his power to win another term as president. His wife, Claire, is still his running mate, one of the bigger whoppers from last season. The new season finds the Underwoods working to drum up paranoia and anxiety among the populace. This is the first House of Cards season without creator Beau Willimon at the helm. Senior writers Frank Pugliese and Melissa James Gibson are the new showrunners. But the jaw-dropping twists are expected to come as fast as in previous seasons.
