House of Cards season 2 release date February 2014 confirmed; Francis and Claire Underwood to continue rise to power

The House of Card season 2 premiere date has been announced by Netflix.

The second series of the hit original series will finally be released on February 14, 2014.

The synopsis for the second season is as follows:

"In the second season, Francis and Claire Underwood continue their ruthless rise to power as threats mount on all fronts. Zoe Barnes, an up-and-coming reporter and Francis's former paramour, is inching closer to the truth about his crimes. President Walker's billionaire confidante Raymond Tusk demands that Francis reciprocate political favours or face retribution. And Claire must confront the increasing glare of the spotlight as it eats away at her and Francis's once private existence. The Underwoods must overcome these dangers — past and present — to avoid losing everything, regardless of collateral damage they leave in their wake."

The production for the highly-acclaimed political drama started in May and finally finished on Nov. 8.

Post-production has been taking place for about a month before the premiere date was finally released to the public.

Meanwhile, talks of a third season for House of Cards is ongoing.

In October Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos implied that a third season is indeed possible when he stated at the 2013 Film Independent Forum: "Our intent is that the show keep going for sure. It was a 26-episode commitment. It was not our intent that it just run for two seasons."

Rumors swirled that the political drama will end after the second season after former co-executive producer Rick Cleveland commented at the Vancouver Film Festival that the drama "is only going to go a second season and I think that's it. Kevin Spacey likes to do movies and Robin Wright likes to do movies."

"House of Cards" initially received a 26-episode order from Netflix when it started.

The original Netflix drama won three Emmy awards and was nominated for six other categories.
