"House of Cards" Season 5 will premiere on May 30 on Netflix. Claire Underwood may end up becoming the first female President of the United States in the upcoming season.
The words "We make the terror" can be heard ominously in the trailer. Also, the American flag is shown upside down and voices of children are heard pledging allegiance to the United States.
In this season, the Underwoods are expected to become the most powerful couple. The First Lady may also be sworn as the President, but it could be a tough road with the entry of so many new faces in "House of Cards" Season 5. Campbell Scott and Patricia Clarkson are joining the show and are expected to shake up the dynamics of the plot.
However, Scott and Clarkson are not the only new faces joining the "House of Cards" team, as Frank Pugliese and Melissa James Gibson will be the new showrunners of the show, according to E! News. Beau Willimon, the previous showrunner quit the show after the fourth season. Other cast members of "House of Cards" Season 5 include Kim Dickens, Neve Campbell, Michael Kelly, Nathan Darrow, Joel Kinnaman, Jayne Atkinson, Derek Cecil, Paul Sparks, Elizabeth Marvel, Cicely Tyson and Ellen Burstyn.
Other "House of Cards" Season 5 spoilers indicate that the plot will revolve around the First Lady (Robin Wright) for most of the episodes. She may end up eventually becoming the President after getting rid of her husband with the aid of Campbell. The President is already in poor health, hence it will be easy for the usurpers to plot his demise.
Earlier in 2016, Wright demanded equal pay as the male lead of the show, while addressing philanthropists, activists and the media at the Rockefeller Foundation. She had a substanial role like Kevin Spacey, so she should also be paid the same amount, Huffington Post quoted her as saying. The producers eventually agreed to her request and she now gets the same pay as Spacey.
