‘House of Cards’ Season 2 Debut Date Announced
In the second season, Francis (Spacey) and Claire (Wright) Underwood continue their ruthless rise to power as threats mount on all fronts. Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara, “American Horror Storyâ€), an up-and-coming reporter and Francis’s former paramour, is inching closer to the truth about his crimes. President Walker’s (Michel Gill, “The Good Wifeâ€) billionaire confidante Raymond Tusk (Gerald McRaney, “Southlandâ€) demands that Francis reciprocate political favors or face retribution.
