After it was reported earlier this year that "House of Cards" is returning for another season, fans of the political drama have been eager to hear spoilers and updates on the Netflix original series.
Recent updates claim that filming of the series has already started in Maryland and that there is no official statement yet regarding its premiere. However, many people speculate that the series will start airing February, just like its two previous seasons.
The finale of the show's second season featured Frank Underwood assuming his seat as the president of the United States. The new high officer, however, is not aware of the threats that could harm his position. From what it seems, the fate of Underwood will significantly depend on whether his Chief of Staff, Doug Stamper, is truly dead.
While Doug was shown motionless and with eyes wide open, it seems that fans are not buying this as this could be the show's strategy to mislead the viewers.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, cast member Rachel Brosnahan dished out some details about the characters.
"I don't think we know that he's dead yet," Brosnahan said. "It cuts so quickly. I don't think we can say for sure that Stamper is dead."
"Michael [Kelly] and I had some conversations [about the ending moments]. He's very upset with me! [Laughs] It was some tough, crazy scenes in the woods, but I don't think I've ever worked with an actor that is so kind and positive all the time. Michael's amazing. He can't be dead!"
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Michael Kelly, who plays Doug Stamper in the series, said that he does not know what will happen to his character and whether Doug is truly dead. "I don't know -- they haven't officially said," Kelly said. "And with television contracts, as an actor, when you sign those contracts you sign for a long time. So technically they still own me, but I don't know yet," he added.
