The new season of House Of Cards is just around the corner, and we’re constantly getting exciting news about it. Netflix just surprised fans of this political drama by dropping pictures of two new major characters. To make things even better, they’re being played by Hollywood veterans Diane Lane and Greg Kinnear.
Lane and Kinnear will be portraying Annette and Bill Shepherd, who are no strangers to the corrupted world of politics. According to an official press release, these two siblings inherited Shepherd Unlimited, a leading industrial conglomerate whose family foundations exert a powerful behind-the-scenes force in the American political landscape. They share a vision for the future of America, as well as a complicated past with the Underwoods.
American Crime Story star Cody Fern also joined the series as Annette’s son Duncan Shepherd. He’s an ambitious and devoted young man, who represents the next generation of rising power players in Washington. House Of Cards isn’t the only show Fern will be starring in this autumn, since he’s also been cast in American Horror Story: Apocalypse.
The new season of Netflix’s hit series will be available on November 2, but it’ll be much different from House Of Cards we’re used to. Robin Wright will have her turn in the Oval Office after taking over the lead role from the disgraced actor Kevin Spacey.
