Netflix is set to release all 13 episodes of season two of House of Cards starring Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright on Friday, February 14, 2014. The drama was created by David Fincher (The Social Network), Oscar nominated screenwriter Beau Willimon, and Oscar winner Eric Roth (Forrest Gump) and is set in Washington D.C.
The Plot:
In the second season, Francis (Spacey) and Claire (Wright) Underwood continue their ruthless rise to power as threats mount on all fronts. Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara), an up-and-coming reporter and Francis’s former paramour, is inching closer to the truth about his crimes. President Walker’s (Michel Gill) billionaire confidante Raymond Tusk (Gerald McRaney) demands that Francis reciprocate political favors or face retribution. And Claire must confront the increasing glare of the spotlight as it eats away at her and Francis’s once private existence.
The Underwoods must overcome these dangers — past and present — to avoid losing everything, regardless of the collateral damage they leave in their wake.
In addition to Spacey, Wright, Mara, Gill, and McRaney, the series also stars Mahershala Ali, Sebastian Arcelus, Kristen Connolly, Nathan Darrow, Sakina Jaffrey, Michael Kelly, and Molly Parker.
Additional cast members appearing in the series include Jayne Atkinson, Gil Birmingham, Rachel Brosnahan, Reg E. Cathey, Derek Cecil, Terry Chen, Ben Daniels, Joanna Going, Boris McGiver, Mozhan Marnol, Sam Page, Kate Lyn Sheil, Jimmi Simpson, and Constance Zimmer.
