There has been a lot of talk about when House of Cards may end. With showrunner Beau Willimon having stood down after the fourth season, and no multi-season renewal (unlike fellow Netflix trailblazer Orange is the New Black, which was renewed through Season 7 last year), the future wasn't clear, and rumours have persisted about this being the last one.

While there are no guarantees, having watched all the episodes it'd be a major shock if they didn't continue into a sixth season. The fifth followed some of what I expected it to, and went down a different path at other points, but without giving anything away it does lay the groundwork for a Season 6, and a very exciting one at that.
