'House of Cards' season 5 release date news, spoilers: Frank determined to win elections

(Facebook/HouseofCards)Frank pulls the plug on Claire's affair in "House of Cards" season 5.

Fans just can't get enough of Frank Underwood and the rest of the cast of "House of Cards." The good news is that the show has been renewed for another season.

Season 4 just ended last month but there's no stopping talk about the upcoming installment. Reports have it that all the characters will stop at nothing just to continue to have a taste of power.

Frank will be one of those people who will do anything just to maintain power. In season 4, fans saw him as a weak person – both in his physical condition and his political position. Despite this, Frank won't be pulled down and he will still be determined to win the Presidential elections.

While the show has been renewed for another season which is expected to premiere sometime in March 2017, "House of Cards" season 5 is rumored to be the final one. This rumor comes from the fact that series creator and showrunner Beau Willimon will leave the project.

"Netflix and MRC owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Beau Willimon for his strong narrative vision for 'House of Cards' over the show's first four seasons," the streaming service said in a statement.

"As an Academy Award nominated writer, he made his first foray into television and built a riveting and critically acclaimed series, establishing his place in TV history. The producers, cast and crew join us in wishing Beau the best in his next creative adventure."

In addition, various media outlets also believe that season 5 could be the end because the show has already covered most of the arcs found on the Michael Hobbs novel that it was based from.

It remains to be seen whether or not Netflix will still give a go signal for a new season after the fifth. If "House of Cards" will move further beyond season 5, showrunners and writers will need to come up with a new story so this well-loved political drama series can continue to run.
