A new set of outdoor ads for Netflix let Parisians address their Snapchat friends with the megalomaniacal menace of Frank Underwood.

The video-streaming service has placed billboards across the French capital that invite passers-by to swap faces with characters from their favorite Netflix shows using the popular Snapchat feature, as The Drum first reported in English.

This isn't the first time Netflix has gotten creative with crossing over digital concepts into physical advertising. The company previously ran a billboard campaign in France that featured 100 live GIFs from its shows.
