It’s official. Valentine’s Day is pretty much going to be a washout for House of Cards fans.

All 13 episodes of House of Cards season 2 will be available exclusively on Netflix as of 8.01am tomorrow.

And while Netflix subscribers desperately try to figure out whether they can squeeze in a quick fix before work, Kevin Spacey has said fans are ‘really digging’ Netflix’s decision to release the political drama’s second series in one go.

He told Digital Spy: ‘We didn’t start bingeing but I think we are of course the first series that’s ever given away entire seasons at one time, and I think it goes to say how much an audience is really digging being in control and being able to treat a series the way they treat a novel; pick it up when they want to pick it up and put it down when they want to put it down.’




For those in America, the second series will begin streaming on Netflix 03.01am ET.
