Netflix is ready to premiere Season 3 of the popular American drama series House of Cards. The political thriller series has been scripted and produced by Beau Willimon and derives inspiration from the BBC's series and Michael Dobb's novel by the same name. The first series was premiered on Netflix's streaming service back in February 2013. Just before the launch of the second season in February 2014, Netflix announced that it has renewed the production of the third season which will be aired in 2015.

House of Cards Season 3 casts Kevin Spacey as the very shrewd Francis J. "Frank" Underwood, Michael Kelly as Man-Friday Douglas "Doug" Stamper, Kate Mara as the inquisitive Zoe Barnes, Robin Wright as sauve and very stoic Claire Underwood, Corey Stoll as the drunkard Peter Russo, Gerald McRaney as the businessman Raymond Tusk, Nathan Darrow as Edward Meechum, Michel Gill as Garrett Walker, and Sakina Jaffrey as none other than Linda Vasquez. Other stars include Molly Parker, Sebastian Arcelus, Reg E. Cathey, Kristen Connolly, and Joanna Going.  Reportedly, Season 3 will have a total of 13 episodes, keeping in line with Season 1 and 2. 

According to the sources, Netflix has announced to hit the Cuba internet that will allow the streaming of the House of Cards episodes. The news has created a stir among the Cuba population since only 5% of the population has an internet connection. Moreover, most of the popular sites such as YouTube and Twitter are not accessible in Cuba. Considering the current scenario, if the decision made by Netflix is able to attract fans in Cuba leading to an increase in the streaming traffic, the overall demand for an internet connection is expected to increase exponentially. Let's wait and watch what difference it makes to the market economy in Cuba.

Do no forget to catch the action of the first episode of Season 3 which will be streamed at Netflix on February 27, 2015.
