Netflix Releases FU2016 ‘House Of Cards’ Season Four Promo During GOP Presidential Debate

House of Cards may arguably be Netflix’s most popular original series to date (despite a lack of confirmed ratings from the streaming platform). The political drama series, which has garnered Netflix a few Golden Globe and Emmy Awards, was renewed for a fourth season back in April 2015. Now, to keep up with the show’s momentum and in anticipation of its release, the streaming subscription premium video service dropped an official season four teaser, disguised as a political promo, during CNN’s GOP Presidential debate on December 15.

Viewers of the House of Cards teaser could easily confuse the clip with any other political ad currently starting to take up residence on America’s TV screens. Netflix’s promo shows a montage of happy, healthy, and safe U.S. citizens hard at work and enjoying their lives, situations which the narrator attributes to one man who puts “people before politics.” The promo then decidedly reveals its House of Cards affiliation by showing President Frank Underwood

(played by Kevin Spacey), who says, “America, I’m only getting started.”

Netflix has a history of releasing lots of teasers and trailers for House of Cards, so this will likely not be the last clip we get to enjoy before the full release of season four. For example, Netflix released its first official trailer for House of Cards season three within 45 minutes of Spacey winning his Golden Globe for his portrayal of Underwood. The streaming platform then ironically dropped a teaser depicting Frank and Claire’s tense, marital-strife-filled relationship on none other than Valentine’s Day. House of Cards season three got a second official trailer only a week later, just four days before the season’s debut.

House of Cards will return to Netflix for its fourth season on March 4, 2016.
