Details about the upcoming "House of Cards" Season 5 have been very scarce, thus fans are only giving fan-made theories and assumptions. As the U.S. now has a newly elected president Donald Trump, the show becomes more hype as the POTUS is being likened to Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey).
With that, there are swirling rumors that "House of Cards" Season 5 is going to have a new character that will be liked Donald Trump. It has been said that that the current real life event in America will take its toll in the show that might add a new concept to feature today's situation.
It was recently reported that there are new theories that "House of Cards" Season 5 will have a new star to portray the role based on Donald Trump's character. This new actor, if it's true, will be Frank's new greatest rival.
In "House of Cards" Season 4, Frank is planning to run for another presidential term. Hence, in "House of Cards" Season 5, fans might witness a strong competition between Frank and this new character that could be liked Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump's presidential race. But fans should only take this with a grain of salt as Netflix has yet to confirm anything about this plot.
Meanwhile, Den of Geek cited that the new persons coming in "House of Cards" Season 5 are its new showrunner, Patricia Clarkson and Campbell Scott. These new characters will be the one who will surely compete with Frank in the coming new installment.
Nothing much has been said to the roles of Clarkson and Scott in "House of Cards" Season 5, but it is strongly believed that the 56-year-old "Learning to Drive" actress will be Frank's great rival. There is no official announcement about the show's release date either, but it is expected to be out in February 2017.
