Wow, it feels like an eternity since Netflix released House of Cards: Season 2. Now we’re presumably looking at another year before we get to see the next chapters, but rest assured, they’re working on it.
Earlier this month, Netflix announced that the show would be back for at least a third season.

Showrunner Beau Willimon revealed about a half hour later that they started writing the third season a month ago.
Hey @HouseofCards fans, we're definitely having a 3rd Season! In fact, we started writing it a month ago! @Netflix http://t.co/ye6KpkdelI

On Monday, Willimon tweeted a photo of the writing team working on it:
Howdy from the @HouseofCards writers room! We're hard at work on Seas 3 for y'all. 800 pages to go! @netflix pic.twitter.com/0Fqg4gZOAL

The second season (especially the first episode), which was released on Friday, has been a hot “water cooler” topic for sure. Eli Roth, producer of Netflix’s Hemlock Grove (which also has a second season due out in the near future) sent some praise Willimon’s way:
Thanx Eli. We're big fans of yours! MT @eliroth: "I'm one ep into @HouseofCards s2 and already my jaw is on the ground. BRILLIANT" @netflix
