Release date for new season of House of Cards announced

There was a 10th candidate vying for attention during Tuesday night’s primetime Republican debate: Frank Underwood.

That’s right. You can go ahead and clear your calendars for March 4, 2016.

‘It’s a new day in America, ‘ a man’s voice was heard saying as video played of a tractor in a corn field, electricity pylons standing tall against the sunrise and sunlight reflecting off the sides of city skyscrapers.

“America, I’m only getting started”.

The video switched to President Frank Underwood who’s sitting at his desk int he Oval office writing with a fountain pen.

If you want some extra fun, you can visit the link in the campaign add, which is an actual site to promote his campaign run.

The trailer also advertised President Underwood’s campaign website fu2016.com, which bears the slogan “Inequality, dishonesty, entitlement”.

BREAKING NEWS: President Underwood will be making a special announcement tonight during the #GOPDebate.

Netflix has yet to confirm a release date, but its promo schedule marries up with previous ones, and the last three seasons all debuted in February, so that month is a pretty safe bet.

Few House of Cards Season 4 details have leaked thus far, though in addition to series leads Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright, we might expect the returns of 2015 additions Paul Sparks, Fear The Walking Dead star Kim Dickens and Sherlock baddie Lars Mikkelsen.

I am old enough to remember when House of Cards was good.
