Netflix on Wednesday released a new teaser for House of Cards' sixth season — and it finally reveals the fate of Kevin Spacey's character, Frank Underwood.
Spacey was fired from the show last fall due to allegations of sexual abuse made by multiple men. Since then, nobody was sure exactly how the Netflix series would handle Underwood's absence, given he was the show's main character.
This new teaser confirms that, as you might expect, Underwood is dead in the new season. The brief video released on Twitter shows Robin Wright's Claire Underwood standing over her husband's grave, saying, "I'll tell you this, though, Francis. When they bury me, it won't be in my backyard. And when they pay their respects, they'll have to wait in line."
