1. Will Season 6 Be The Last?

As previously mentioned, there were rumours that Season 5 would be the series' last. Technically that could still be the case, since a sixth season hasn't officially been greenlit, but the latest season ends in such a way that it demands another run of episodes.

After that, though, what's left? Frank's been President, Claire's now President, they've been together, they've been apart, we've had an assassination, an election... With Season 6 exploring Claire's Presidency and - potentially - a fierce battle for power between her and Frank, there's not an obvious direction for the future of the show beyond that.

It's always a shame when good shows outstay their welcome, which could possibly happen to House of Cards, so will Season 6 (if it gets there) be the last? It'd be good if there was some clarification on that prior to the season airing, so the writers can build to a concrete finale.

What questions did Season 5 leave you with? Let us know down in the comments.
