As the rumors claiming that Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) will die in "House of Cards" season 5 have persisted, it is now speculated that the upcoming season of the Netflix series will be its last.

Among the numerous rumors attached to "House of Cards" season 5, there is no denying that those claiming that Frank Underwood will die is the loudest and the most persistent. However, if the latest rumors are to be believed, the upcoming season of the Netlflix political drama may not only be about the death of the President of the United States (POTUS) as it may be the last for the series, too.

Reportedly, "House of Cards" season 5 will culminate with the death of Frank Underwood, and the series will come to a fold. While it is unclear if it will really be the case, it is said that Spacey is no longer happy with how the series is handled, following the departure of "House of Cards" director Beau Willimon, hence, the decision to leave the show. In fact, it is even said that Spacey may soon work with Willimon once more for a new project after the former has left "House of Cards."

In the event that rumors claiming that Spacey's character will be killed off in "House of Cards" season 5, because of the actor's decision to leave the show, are true, it is quite understandable why it is also speculated that the upcoming season of the Netflix series will be its last. As Spacey's Frank Underwood is the focal character in "House of Cards," proceeding with the series sans the presence of the actor does not seem to make sense.

Prior to the allegations that "House of Cards" season 5 will be the last, rumors saying that Frank Underwood will be assassinated in the story have been loud. Allegedly, it will be Frank underwood's wife, Claire Underwood (Robin Wright), who will mastermind his murder so that she can gain sympathy from the public and be the next POTUS.

Will "House of Cards" season 5 really be the last? Will the series really kill Frank Underwood?

Find out when "House of Cards" season 5 becomes available for streaming on Netflix early next year.
