The executive producers even stated that Frank Underwood and his other half Claire will be "equal but different" in the upcoming season. They also assured that it will be exciting to watch the onscreen couple addressing the viewers in their own unique styles.

Meanwhile, cast member Patricia Clarkson hinted that she could reprise her role as Jane Davis in season 6 of House Of Cards. The actress revealed that her character could accept the cabinet post that was offered to her by Claire in season 5 of the show.

"I think Jane views most people as simple-minded, but I think in Claire she's found a true companion, patriot, and intellectual equal, which is rare for Jane," the actress said.
