House of Cards renewed for fourth season

House of Cards has been renewed for season 4, it has been announced.

Netflix will bring back the US political drama next year, with filming set to begin later this year.

The official Twitter account for the drama starring Kevin Spacey as Machiavellian politician Frank Underwood tweeted: “I will leave a legacy #Underwood2016.”

The hashtag is a clear reference to Underwood’s bid to stay in the White House.

Season 3 of the hit show received mixed reviews and ended on a cliff-hanger, with Frank’s wife Claire (Robin Wright) walking out on her megalomaniac husband.

We can’t wait for more Frank, and we’re betting his legacy will be built on a mountain of bodies.
