2. Who Will Die Next?

Ever since Frank stunned viewers by turning on the ignition and leaving Peter Russo to suffocate, death has been a big part of House of Cards.

It's unlikely any death - well, outside of Frank, Claire, or Doug - would come close to matching the impact of Zoe Barnes', in terms of shock factor and narrative importance, but it's not going to stop the show from trying.

This year we witnessed Claire commit her first murder, killing Tom Yates, and that's something we could see more of in Season 6, while Frank is out for revenge, and the fates of Cathy and LeAnn hang in the balance.

Feasibly, any of them could die in Season 6, and we may even have a situation where Frank and Claire are trying to kill each other. Will either of them succeed, or could someone else end up paying the ultimate price?
