Filming has begun!
House of Cards Season 3 will push limits. How corrupt the Underwood’s get? In an interview with Kevin Spacey he stated that Willimon and producer David Fincher ,”desire to see just how dark that well is and how deep does it go. We have miles to go before we sleep.” Eerie.
Season 2 went back and forth with China a lot. Season 3 will involve Russia. There will be a new Russian character. Could he bring down Frank Underwood? They even tried to film scenes in Russia at the U.N. Security Council Chambers, but were denied because the chamber must be available at all times in case of an emergency meeting.
The story line for this upcoming season will be based around patent reform. This makes viewers (me) want to fall asleep, but I’m sure we will be very entertained to say the least.
There will be three new characters! There hasn’t been much information released, but the network reveled that one character will be a, “Dr. Buzard, a doctor in her 40s who is described as ‘very smart.'” Another opposition for the Underwoods to walk over?
Will Meechum’s (Underwood’s extremely loyal driver & bodyguard) character develop? Besides shocking viewers and having a threesome with Frank and Claire out of nowhere in Season 2…. Who is he anyway? The fact that the show has kept him under wraps & his character mysterious may lead to something bigger in Season 3. I would personally like to see his character evolve. When Nathan Darrow was interviewed by Entertainment Weekly about his roll in the upcoming season he responded, “I don’t think it would be helpful to me, nor the consumers of the story [ to reveal it. ] On his character, “One can always remember that there’s plenty of people walking on this earth that don’t know why they’re doing what they’re doing.” They always say those who talk the least & listen most are the most intelligent. I think the reason Meechum’s character has laid low & remained stoic will be revealed this season.
Rachel Posner:
The season finale of Season Two left Doug Stamper (played by Michael Kelly) left in the middle of a back country road with Rachel Posner (played by Rachel Brosnahan) running. Not good for the Underwood’s as she is full of their corrupt secrets such as Peter Russo’s murder in Season 1. She was playing coy when she told Entertainment Weekly, “I have no clue what is happening with the third season. Rachel should come back. there’s a lot of loose ends. It’s interesting if Rachel came back because she’s one of the bigger threats to Frank now. She’s still the missing link, and people are discovering she exists. ”
Duh. Why would they have that scene in the season finale if to not have her appear again? She’s playing dumb. If we dive into this, Rachel has “no idea” what is going on with Season 3. That’s because she may not appear in this next season at all. I think this is a good indicator that Rachel is going to appear in Season 4 with a major plot twist and already knows it. At one point or another, she is going to be a major glitch in the Underwood’s scheme. It’s just a matter of when.
Zoe Barnes (played by Kate Mara) wants to come back so bad! But I don’t see that as a possibility. Mara shared some ideas how her character could come back, “I’ve beens ort of lobbying to bring me back as a different character, just tive me some prosthetics. I would do that. “ How can you come back when you’re dead if not as a new character or a ghost. This isn’t American Horror Story where each season has a new plot with reappearing actors as different characters. But we’d love to see you come back too…
Is Doug dead?! I would say so. According to Latin Times, “the show has never been one to mislead viewers with fake deaths and dream sequences, which would support the fact that Doug is dead.” But Brosnahan revealed in an interview, “I don’t think we know that he’s dead yet. It cuts so quickly. I don’t think we can say for sure that Stamper is dead.” I think we can assume so. We last saw his face in daylight, bloody, motionless, and with his eyes wide open. House of Cards wouldn’t stoop that low. Doug’s reckoning would make Rachel less of a threat, and I don’t think that’s going to happen. They have enough drama without that desperate plot twist. Rachel may be trying to further cover up what her character Rachel is going to reappear. Maybe he could go with Zoe’s ghost idea.
Will Claire die? In the original House of Cards British series Frank’s character is killed off in the finale. Makes us wonder if Netflix will follow the original series. Let’s hope not, because then the show is already ruined. But if Frank doesn’t die in the end, I have a hunch Claire will. It will be interesting to see where the cards fall…
The show may not end after Season 3!! Rick Cleveland stated that as along as lead actors Spacey & Wright who play Frank and Claire Underwood, agree to continue reprising their roles, then Netflix will continue their story.
This show is amazing & growing in popularity. They’d be stupid not to.
