House of Cards, the incredibly successful series produced by and exclusively for Netflix, helped establish the streaming service as a viable network of its own, and fans have been anxiously awaiting its return since binge-watching the entire first season earlier this year. The show received nine Emmy nominations (winning three) and just got nominated for four Golden Globes, and production on the second season is nearing a close. Last week we were treated to a teaser trailer featuring Robin Wright's Claire Underwood smoking a cigarette, which did nothing but reignite the vigorous enthusiasm fans have for the show. Luckily, we were finally given our first real glimpse at the show's return on Thursday when Netflix released the first trailer for the show and an official synopsis.
