Instead, the network opted to put Robin Wright in the lead role for the final season, which works out perfectly: At the end of the fifth season, Claire Underwood became president after husband Frank Underwood resigned in disgrace.
House of Cards Season 6 will also star Diane Lane and Greg Kinnear in top-secret roles. The only thing we know for sure is that they’ll be playing siblings (presumably the bloodthirsty, plotting kind).
