Maintaining a consecutive 9.1 rating on IMDB, House of Cards has been a great success with viewers and has proved to be a tough competition for all other shows on TV and Netflix-only programs. This unconventional story revolves around a congressman and his wife doing everything in their power to take revenge on the people who betrayed them.

House of Cards Season 3 is set to hit Netflix on February 27, 2015, and fans of the show have already glued their eyes to their screens.

Recap of Season 1

The first season saw the protagonist, Whip Francis Underwood aka Frank Underwood, dreaming big and falling short as he is betrayed by the people he trusts most. Frank’s wife, Claire, runs an NGO but her intentions are not completely good. This is why Frank tags her as his partner in revenge.

The season comes to an end when Underwood receives a nomination for Vice President and accepts it.

Recap of Season 2

The second season was all about Frank making advancements towards achieving his desired position in the world of politics. Season 2 saw Underwood’s anger reach a new high when he figures out that the newly commissioned General is in fact the same person who raped his wife in college.

In the season finale, we saw Frank becoming the President of the United States at Camp David. As his first act, he calls the Chinese President and negotiates an end to the dispute involving rare-earth minerals, and escalating tensions between China and Japan. Part of the deal includes secret revoking of Feng’s immunity.

6 Theories about House of Cards Season 3

Maria Mercedes Lara at POPSUGAR came up with several theories about the upcoming season. Here is what she expects from season 3 of the show:

Frank’s going down

Yes, Frank gets away with whatever evil thing he does but he won’t be able to survive for long.

Zoe's death will haunt Frank forever

Zoe’s death was overshadowed by certain circumstances but will eventually come back and haunt Frank.

Rachel is still a huge liability for Frank

Rachel is on the run after murdering Doug. Frank’s capacity to kill people is still strong. Thus, Rachel might find herself on his hit list.

Meechum might become a hit man

Meechum is strangely loyal to Mr. and Mrs. Frank. There is a high probability that he just might become a hit man and work for them.

Frank will team up with his former employee, Remy, again

Despite of what went we saw in the previous seasons, Frank will once again team up with Remy in season 3.

Claire's role will expand

It is not that Clair’s role was short in the last two seasons, but since it is going to be the fall of Frank, it cannot happen without Clair being around.

What Season 3 Has to Offer?

House of Cards season 3 will be darker than the previous seasons and you should expect a lot of manipulative moves, back stabbing and the rise and fall of various characters. Hold on to your seat, the turbulence is going to be high with season 3 of House of Cards.
