PICS: The first look at the new season of House of Cards

It’s coming back…

On Sunday, Netflix released two new photos from the upcoming season of House of Cards, which stars Robin Wright as President Claire Underwood.

And in the first images of the new season, Wright’s Claire Underwood is making her mark on the presidency.

The sixth and final season of House of Cards will revolve around Claire in the Oval Office, having taken over the reins from her husband.

Frank, previously played by Kevin Spacey, was the scheming politician during the first five seasons, but was removed from the show late last year amid a number sexual harassment allegations.

The photos don’t reveal too much. The first shows Wright looking straight at the camera, and the other shows her at her White House desk, speaking with director Alik Sakharov.

Some cast additions for the next season include Greg Kinnear, Diane Lane and Cody Fern who join the established cast of Michael Kelly, Jayne Atkinson, Campbell Scott, Derek Cecil, Patricia Clarkson, and Constance Zimmer.
