With the fourth-season premiere still a month in the distance, House of Cards has been picked up for a fifth season by Netflix. Series creator Beau Willimon, however, will not be returning.
Before heading House of Cards, the Columbia- and Jiulliard-educated Mr Willimon was best known as the screenwriter behind The Ides Of March, for which he earned an Oscar nod.
Netflix will release the fifth season of House of Cards in 2017.
