If you thought that season 1 of the political thriller series "House of Cards" was gribbing, then wait until you get a peak of what's to come next month in season 2.
In a new promo released Monday, Kevin Spacey's character Frank Underwood is seen being sworn in as Vice President, as the investigation surrounding Peter Russo's death heats up. The two-minute trailer also teases scenes filled with political conspiracy, corruption, knife fights, murder, diving dogs, airborne lamps and a scene in which Robin Wright's Claire holds a glass of cabernet and slyly asks, "Am I really the sort of enemy you want to make?"
Last month, Neflix dropped a two-minute promo for the upcoming second season, hinting that the road to absolute power in Washington, D.C. is paved with hypocrisy and casualties.
According to TVLine, a summary for the highly acclaimed drama series reads:
"Francis (Kevin Spacey) and Claire (Robin Wright) Underwood continue their ruthless rise to power as threats mount on all fronts. Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara), an up-and-coming reporter and Francis's former paramour, is inching closer to the truth about his crimes. President Walker's (Michel Gill) billionaire confidante Raymond Tusk (Gerald McRaney) demands that Francis reciprocate political favors 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."
Besides, Spacey, Wright, Mara, Gill and McRaney, TVLine also revealed that other returning characters include Mahershala Ali (playing Remy), Sebastian Arcelus (as Herald boss Lucas), Kristen Connolly (Christina), Nathan Darrow (Frank's bodyguard Edward), Sakina Jaffrey (White House Chief of Staff Linda Vasquez), Michael Kelly (Frank's own CoS, Doug Stamper), Constance Zimmer (Janine) and Rachel Brosnahan (ex-prostitute Rachel).
There will also be new actors added to the cast, including "Mad Men" star Sam Page, "Deadwood's" Molly Parker and Joanna Going from "Close to Home."
All 13 episodes will debut on Friday, Feb. 14, 2014, reports USA Today.
