HOUSE OF CARDS Renewed for Season 5 and There's a New Season 4 Promo
House of Cards season four has yet to premiere, but Netflix has already renewed the series for a fifth season. That fifth season comes at a price, though, because the creator of the series, Beau Willimon, is not coming along for the ride. The streaming service released the following statement:
“Netflix and MRC owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Beau Willimon for his strong narrative vision for House of Cards over the show’s first four seasons. As an Academy Award nominated writer, he made his first foray into television and built a riveting and critically acclaimed series, establishing his place in TV history. The producers, cast and crew join us in wishing Beau the best in his next creative adventure.”
Willimon is just moving on to other things. This is what he had to say:
“I’m grateful to Netflix and MRC, my fellow executive producers, our two incandescent stars Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright, our talented writers, as well as the incredible cast and crew with whom I’ve had the privilege to work. After five years and four seasons, it’s time for me to move on to new endeavors, but I’m supremely proud of what we’ve built together, wish the show much continued success, and leave it in the hands of a very capable team.”
It's really a good thing when the creator of a show leaves. These people are the heart and soul of these productions when they leave the show is rarely the same. But we'll see how it goes! Season five is set to premiere in 2017.
I also included a new promo spot for season four below called "Dig."
