Despite the surprisingly lackluster reception of Season 3 by cast and critics alike it seems that Frank Underwood isn't quite out of D.C. politics just yet. According to the latest gossip news updates, Netflix has renewed their flagship original content series, House of Cards, for another year. While it is doubtful that Robin Wrights' character, Claire, will ever get to take her turn at playing President in Season 4, Ben Foster's fiancé has no problem insisting that she would be more than capable of taking over for Kevin Spacey's Frank Underwood.
It's official; Kevin Spacey is destined to kill again in Season 4 of Netflix most successful TV show to date, House of Cards, reports the New York Times -- especially since the company can't afford to lose the face of its foray into original content just as its doubling down on the whole business venture:
"Netflix confirmed that a fourth season of its original House of Cards polical drmam is in the works nad will debut next year.
"The company is expected to spend more than $450 million on original programming this year, up 88 percent form $243 million in 2014, according to the MoffettNathanson research firm."

While it seems highly unlikely to happen in 2016, or any other season for that matter, Robin Wright explained in the April 13, issue of OK! Magazine that her character was just as ready to fill her husband's shoes as Hilary Clinton seems to be her famous hubby's:
"We need a female President.
"Women are very communal...Men can get combative in a group setting, and that's why nothing gets done.
"So why not try a new way of thinking."
That being said -- Robin admits that Claire Underwood's calculated way of approaching her marriage to Kevin Spacey's character isn't anything that she would be attracted to -- no matter who was getting the hog all the glory at any given moment:
"I'm a hopeless romantic.
"I'm so in love with my guy, I couldn't imagine living like the Underwoods.
"They're the same breed, two alphas who stick together like a pack of wolves.
"That so much fun to play, but for me, I just couldn't be happier in my relationship."
While Wright hasn't seemed to show any interest in becoming involved in politics herself -- other than perhaps marrying Sean Penn -- after more than two decades in the Hollywood spotlight she can already relate to the ultra-high level of media scrutiny:
"People are free to judge you and your actions.
"You're like a zoo animal, and it can be difficult for anyone to navigate those waters."
Vote Robin Wright-Foster in 2016!
