There are short trailers, brief teasers and then there is this... new promo for the third season of House Of Cards on Netflix, which pretty much qualifies as a long .gif. Still, welcome President Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) and First Lady Claire (Robin Wright) as they board Air Force One (which given their presence should be renamed Scare Force One).

The political drama’s third season is still being kept as secret as one of Frank’s schemes, plot-wise, but we’re certain to see him exerting more Presidential power in the service of his own ends. And why not? He’s worked hard killed or manipulated a lot of people to get where he is, and we know from other shows (and, er, real life) that being President of the United States is not exactly the easiest job in the world.
Tony Gilroy, the man behind The Bourne Legacy, Michael Clayton and the US version of State Of Play, joined the behind-the-scenes team this year as a consultant, so expect Jeremy Renner to show up as an assassin. Okay, maybe not. The series returns, in one binge-worthy gulp as usual, to Netflix on February 27.
