While we've been assuming that another season of House of Cards was on the way, Netflix had danced around the subject of a fourth season during the press run leading up to the premiere of Season 3. If you've already burned through the most recent season of House of Cards, you know why it was unimaginable that Netflix wouldn't renew the series for at least one more season.

The first three seasons of House of Cards premiered in February — should we pencil Season 4 in for next February?
