These days, actress Robin Wright is likely best known for her six seasons as Claire Underwood on “House of Cards.” Her character’s trajectory on Netflix’s often-rancid take on underhanded politics saw her ending up becoming the 47th President of the United States after co-star Kevin Spacey was forced to leave the show due to allegations of sexual misconduct. Wright collected six Emmy nominations as Best Drama Actresss and two for being an executive producer on the show. Wright also earned directorial stripes while calling the shots behind the camera for 10 episodes as well.
That experience led her to make her directorial film debut with “Land,” in which she played Edee, a woman filled with suicidal thoughts after suffering a tragic personal loss. She decides to go off the grid while moving into a grungy cabin in amongst the scenic mountains of Wyoming. Her attempts to chop wood, hunt...

The Emmys are a notoriously unsentimental bunch, as we saw last week with the guest categories, passing over overdue favorites Phylicia Rashad and Adam Sandler. Several actors went into Sunday’s Emmy telecast with numerous losses under their belt, hoping this may finally be their time to go from bridesmaid to bride. Would Sandra Oh finally find herself wielding an Emmy statuette? Could actors on the last seasons of their shows get a farewell hug, like Lena Headey? (See full list of Emmy winners.)
The TV academy has gone for a few performers in their final seasons, like Jon Hamm (“Mad Men”) and Matthew Rhys (“The Americans”), but there are also countless instances of actors never winning for iconic performances, like Steve Carell in “The Office,” Martin Sheen in “The West Wing” and Amy Poehler in “Parks and Recreation.” Unfortunately, there were no instances of majorly overdue actors winning at this year’s Emmys,...

Claire Underwood is finally where she belongs on “House of Cards:” the Oval Office. And her reign has only just begun. The upcoming season looks to pick up right where Claire, played by Robin Wright, left off in the previous season after looking straight into the camera and simply saying, “My turn.”
Netflix took full advantage of the politically charged Academy Awards last night to drop the first Kevin Spacey-less teaser for season six of “House of Cards.” Production for the show’s sixth season was halted in 2017 when sexual misconduct allegations around the former star surfaced.

Once Kevin Spacey became embroiled in a sexual harassment scandal that promised to finish his career, it looked like Netflix’s hit political drama House of Cards would be brought down with him, as the writers were left with a dilemma as to how to proceed without the main character. Of course, anyone who watches the show knew that there was an obvious way to save it: just focus on Spacey’s on-screen wife, Robin Wright’s Claire Underwood.
And that’s exactly the route they’ve gone down. In this first teaser for season 6, which is being marketed as the show’s final season, we’re introduced to the series’ new status quo: Frank Underwood is out and there’s a new President in the White House. And they’re just getting started.

In a move that undoubtedly constitutes the best possible response to crisis, Netflix has officially set the cast and crew of its award-winning drama House Of Cards back to work, and they’ll be joined by Academy Award nominees Diane Lane and Greg Kinnear. The production has finally cranked back into action on its sixth season, having been spectacularly derailed in the fall of 2017 by allegations of sexual assault being lodged against lead actor Kevin Spacey.
The first of several allegations against Spacey caused production of the series to be suspended on October 31st, with Netflix dismissing the actor from the show, distancing itself from him entirely, and setting the writer’s room the monumental task of re-writing the upcoming scripts to account for the departure of its central character. At the time, House Of Cards was shooting the second of its 13 season six episodes. Though it’s technically unclear...

Production on the sixth and final season of “House of Cards” resumed Wednesday with two new faces: Diane Lane and Greg Kinnear have joined the cast, Netflix announced. The two are filling the void in the revamped season in the wake of Kevin Spacey’s dismissal over sexual misconduct allegations last fall. And they’ll try to do what Spacey was never able to during his five-year tenure: win an Emmy.
Lane and Kinnear will play siblings on the show, which will now be headlined by Robin Wright’s Claire Underwood. No other details about their characters were released, but “House of Cards” has been an Emmy magnet when it comes to acting nominations. The drama has netted 22 nominations for its actors over the past five seasons, including a whopping eight in 2016, with one win for guest star Reg E. Cathey in 2015.
