Warning! Full SPOILERS follow for the Season 6 finale of Netflix's House of Cards.
At the start of the final season of Netflix's House of Cards, there's a noticeable character missing, as Frank Underwood, the former fictional President of the United States, dies off-screen in what his wife Claire (Robin Wright) describes to the press as an accidental overdose (but reveals to the audience was murder).
All of the narrative upheavals are due to Kevin Spacey's off-screen behavior after multiple allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced, eventually leading to his removal from the series entirely while Season 6 was still in production. Despite Spacey's abrupt exit, the writers do give closure to Frank's story, which isn't revealed until the final minutes of episode 8, in a face-off featuring two of Frank's closest allies. Here's how it goes down.
As for that ambiguous ending, executive producer Frank Pugliese says it's up to the audience to decide what comes next: "This show has always existed in relationship with the audience, which has been a big part of the direct address and in the conversation with the viewer. So the finale itself is not really final until it’s played out with the audience. Whatever the audience imagines after is all part of the end of the show. And there are questions. No doubt about it. What story is she going to tell? How is she going to get away with this? Now that she’s done with this last piece, will she really move on? But that’s left up to the audience and their imagination."
What do you think of the show's handling of Frank's death? Let us know in the comments, and read our review of the sixth and final season.
