'House of Cards' season 6 release date confirmed, new poster released

Netflix has just released the launch date for the sixth and final season of House of Cards. The political drama will return later this year with Robin Wright in the lead role. This follows a cast and storyline shake-up after allegations of sexual misconduct made against the star’s former lead Kevin Spacey.

Spacey was fired from his leading role as Frank Underwood in November 2017, and Netflix has cut all ties with the two-time Academy Award winning actor.

Who will star in the final series of House of Cards?

The last season of House of Cards will centre around Robin Wright’s lead character, Claire Underwood. In addition to returning cast members such as Michael Kelly, Jayne Atkinson and Patricia Clarkson, Wright will be joined by two new Academy Award nominated co-stars, Greg Kinnear and Diane Lane.
