A series that was built around the chemistry between two actors — and that had been building toward a climactic showdown — is suddenly a solo act. And while the sixth and final season of “House of Cards” is as mixed a bag as the thrilling but uneven Netflix drama has yet produced, the good news is that Robin Wright is up to the task of anchoring the show.
After all, since the earliest episodes, Wright has been the not-so-secret weapon of “House of Cards,” playing a character whose astringent refusal to yield to emotion balanced the more ornate performance of Kevin Spacey as her ambitious but weaker-willed husband. It was a well-tuned duet in which she did all the calibration, constructing a careful performance around his Shakespearean floridity.
With Spacey now fired from the show due to allegations of past sexual misconduct, Wright is on her own. And the spotlight suits her.

‘My first 100 days as president have been difficult. I lost my husband. We were about to celebrate 30 years together. Whatever Francis told you in the last five years, don’t believe a word of it.” Those words from Robin Wright’s powerful President Claire Underwood in the new Season 6 trailer for House of Cards.
At one point, President Underwood makes her intentions very clear, declaring “the reign of the middle-aged white man is over.”
Wright is joined by newcomers Diane Lane and Greg Kinnear as siblings with ties to the Underwoods, along with Cody Fern this season, the first without Kevin Spacey, alongside Michael Kelly, Jayne Atkinson, Patricia Clarkson, Constance Zimmer, Derek Cecil, Campbell Scott and Boris McGiver.

It is ironic that Netflix chose to release first-look photos from the upcoming sixth and final season of House Of Cards during the Tony Awards, hosted last year by the series’ former star Kevin Spacey.
A year later, Netflix is ushering in a rebooted eight-episode final season of its flagship drama without Spacey, who was let go over sexual misconduct allegations. It is led by co-star Robin Wright as the Us President, who is joined by major new cast additions Diane Lane, Greg Kinnear and Cody Fern.
They join fellow returning HoC cast members Michael Kelly, Jayne Atkinson, Patricia Clarkson, Constance Zimmer, Derek Cecil, Campbell Scott and Boris McGiver.
The abbreviated sixth will “bring closure of the show for fans” and bring back to work some 2,000 people in the Baltimore area whose livelihoods depend on the show, Netflix’s Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said in December. Previous HoC seasons consisted of 13 episodes each.
