Seasons
Betrayed by the White House, Congressman Francis Underwood embarks on a ruthless rise to power. Blackmail, seduction and ambition are his weapons.
In their ruthless rise to power, Francis and Claire battle threats past and present, and form new alliances while old ones succumb to betrayal.
President Underwood fights to secure his legacy. Claire wants more than being First Lady. The biggest threat they face is contending with each other.
They've always been a great team. But now in season four, Frank and Claire become even greater adversaries as their marriage stumbles and their ambitions are at odds. In an election year, the stakes are now higher than ever, and the biggest threat they face is contending with each other.
Season five picks up where season four left off: in the midst of a tense presidential election that puts the Underwoods on the same ticket against energetic Republican upstart Will Conway. Viewers will see how their heated campaigns play out as well as which alliances dissolve in the aftermath. Perhaps the biggest question is if Frank and Claire’s relationship is among them.
With Frank out of the picture, Claire Underwood steps fully into her own as the first woman president, but faces formidable threats to her legacy.
