14 DAY TRIAL // One of Netflix’s highest rated series, “House of Cards” with Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright as leads, will return at the end of this month for a third season. However, a few lucky fans had the chance to see what writers have cooked up for Frank in upcoming episodes, as the entire third season leaked online.
It happened because of a glitch with Netflix, Yahoo! TV reports. Said glitch allowed fans to see 10 of the upcoming 13 episodes for about 30 minutes, which, you will probably agree, isn’t really all that much.
You can see a screenshot attesting the leak attached to this blog post, courtesy of the aforementioned media outlet.
As of the time of writing, all episodes have been pulled, with Netflix saying they fixed the glitch and fans should expect to see fresh “House of Cards” footage starting February 27 and no sooner than that.
The tweet embedded below was released after confirmation of the leak and is in keeping with the entire feel of the show: this is Washington, after all, stuff like this happens.
“House of Cards” isn’t just a hit with wider audiences, it’s also been a massive success with the critics. Spacey, who has 2 Oscars to show for his work in film so far, has also won two Golden Globes for Best Actor for his role in this series, along with many other accolades.
This is Washington. There's always a leak. All 13 episodes will launch February 27.
