Frank Underwood weaseled his way into the Republican presidential debate Tuesday to promote his own agenda for America and announce that Season Four ofHouse of Cardswould premiere March 4th on Netflix.
The 30-second spot wasa sharp parody of treacly political ads, showing clipsof construction workers building a house, war planes launching off a battle ship at sunset and children frolicking through a field with American flags flapping behind them. On top of all of it, a narrator delivered quaint platitudes about a new day in America and one man who refuses to settle, who puts people before politics.
In the ads closing moments, the countrys self-proclaimed savior, Kevin Spacey as Underwood, appeared and promised with a cheshire grin,America, Im only getting started.
House of Cards has also launched a faux-campaign siteforUnderwoods bid for a second presidential term, complete with a media kit thatincludes a decal cheekily proclaiming, FU 2016.
While Spacey earned a Golden Globe last yearforBest Performance by an Actor in a Television Series Drama, both he and House of Cardswere passed over for nominations this year. Robin Wright, however, will vie again forBest Performance by an Actress for her turn as Claire Underwood; Wright won the award in 2014 and was nominated in 2015 as well.
