'House of Cards' Renewed for Season 5, But Showrunner Leaving
More than a month before House of Cards Season 4 premieres, Netflix has announced that its popular series will definitely continue for a fifth year. Unfortunately, the show's creator and showrunner, Beau Willimon, will not be along for the ride.
A statement announcing Season 5 reads:
“Netflix and [production company] MRC owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Beau Willimon for his strong narrative vision for House of Cards over the show’s first four seasons. As an Academy Award nominated writer, he made his first foray into television and built a riveting and critically acclaimed series, establishing his place in TV history. The producers, cast and crew join us in wishing Beau the best in his next creative adventure.”
