'House of Cards' New Trailer: Claire Is Ready to Blow the House Down

Frank Underwood's scheming and plotting has paid off with an Oval Office residency, but based on the latest teaser for Season 3 of House of Cards, he may soon be toppled from that privileged perch. Not only that, but his most likely usurper is closer to home than he ever could have predicted. Claire Underwood is the clear star of this 30-second spot, which suggests that she's going to play a major role in deciding the future of her husband's administration over the course of the next 13 episodes, which will be available for binge-viewing starting Friday, Feb. 27.

"I'm starting to question all of it, Francis. What are we doing this for?" she asks at the top of the trailer. And while he has a few solid answers at the ready, her steely gaze and stiff body language suggests that their marriage is about to collapse like… well, like a house of cards.

While President Underwood is dealing with an insurrection from within the White House, his lupine puppet relative Frank Underwolf faces an uprising of the porcine kind. Sesame Street's latest parody, House of Bricks, expertly gives House of Cards a Three Little Pigs twist, showing how Underwolf's "my way or I blow your house down" approach lays the bricks for his own downfall. We can’t wait for the inevitable Orange Is the New Black spoof: Purple Is the New Puppet.

House of Cards premieres Feb. 27 on Netflix.
