House of Cards season 6 debuts on Netflix on November 2.

Netflix has released the first full trailer of the sixth and final season of House of Cards. Robin Wrights Claire Underwood seems to be beset by threats from everywhere and the only ally it appears she has is Diane Lanes character. Lane, along with Greg Kinnear and Cody Fern are the new cast members.

The trailer begins with a CNN debate with popular anchors John Berman and Dana Bash questioning Claires “ability to lead.” Another anchor from another channel says, “I think she is the worst thing thats ever happened to the country.” This looks too forced, and I wonder if the makers are trying too hard. Robin Wright clearly has the charisma and talent to carry the series easily, though.

After Kevin Spaceys exit from the show following multiple accusations of sexual harassment against him, Netflix decided to produce and release one more season anyway, making Robin Wright lead the show. I dont know if the decision was to support the #MeToo movement or commercial concerns, but the show is still the political drama we loved, at least judging by the trailers.
