House of Cards returns Feb. 14, and Netflix is teasing its season two premiere with a dramatic trailer that foretells no mercy-level pain for many characters.
Netflix describes the new season as such:
Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) has masterfully maneuvered his way into the vice presidency, but his ascension faces threats on all fronts. Investigative reporter Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara) is inching closer to the truth about Frank and Peter Russo (Corey Stoll) and will stop at nothing to break the story. And Frank's wife Claire (Robin Wright), the newly appointed Second Lady, must deal with the bright glare of the spotlight and how the intense scrutiny eats away at their once private existence.
The intense trailer features footage from the second season as well as the critically acclaimed first season, which this month has earned nominations for next year's Golden Globes, SAG Awards and Writers Guild Awards.
The political thriller had already made history in September when it became the first web-only series to win an award during the Primetime Emmys.
Now, it's up for four Golden Globes nominations, including Best Drama, Best Actor (Spacey), Best Actress (Wright) and Best Supporting Actor (Stoll).
