'House of Cards' Gets a Season 4 Premiere Date, and a Frank Underwood Campaign Ad
There’s only one politician who could dream of upstaging Donald Trump: Welcome back, President Underwood.
Netflix wisely piggybacked on Tuesday night’s GOP debate to announce a premiere date for Season 4 of its Emmy-winning political drama House of Cards — March 4 — via a faux campaign ad for Kevin Spacey’s master manipulator Frank Underwood. (He’s running for President, too, you know!)

The fake ad (posted above) features the usual patriotic imagery — amber waves of grain, hard-working Americans — while declaring, “It’s a new day in America.” And who do we have to thank for all this prosperity? Good old F.U., of course.
We get one final shot of Frank sitting at his desk in the Oval Office, as he looks up and promises: “America? I’m only getting started.” Hmmm… why does that sound like a threat?
Season 4 of House of Cards debuts March 4 on Netflix.
