THE TRAILER FOR House of Cards season 3 is here, and we finally have some idea of what Frank Underwood is to face in his new job (we’ll say no more).

You may remember that Russia opposed the series filming at the United Nations Security Council last year, and Russian activists Pussy Riot were spotted meeting House of Cards staff in New York last August.

Now, Danish actor Lars Mikkelsen (who played the baddie in the last season of Sherlock) has popped up in the new trailer, and his character is looking very familiar indeed.
