'House of Cards' Season 2 Release Date Rumors: Production Begins, Cliffhangers Addressed [VIDEO]
To the delight of its devoted fans, Netflix's House of Cards is set to begin filming its second season.
Actress Constance Zimmer (Janine Skorsky) recently took to Twitter to put a time table on the filming of the political drama.
"We start shooting Season 2 of #houseofcards in 2 weeks."
While the cast and crew will surely be shooting in the Baltimore area again, it's still uncertain whether Netflix will be posting all its episodes online in unison as it did during the first season.
Writer Beau Willimon had previously elaborated to The New York Times on the creative brass' unorthodox approach to the show.
"We approached this creativity as a 13-hour movie. Knowing we had two full seasons in advance, I didn't feel the pressure to sell the end of each episode with the superficial cliffhangers or shock tactics in order to keep coming back, in order to jack up the ratings week to week."
Willimon had also answered a fan tweet acknowledging that the cast and crew are currently in the midst of production.
@samcurrently had posted the following message to Willimon on March 29:
"How far in advance will you plan story lines and plot points before writing? What is the writing process like?
The EP then replied that "Story-lines for season two are ALREADY mapped out. Now we're outlining individual eps and writing scripts."
In another tweet on the same day, Willimon was kind enough to answer another fan's query regarding the House of Cards creative protocol.
@mirrormask313 wrote,"do you prefer that everything is scripted before filming or are you happy with improv?"
Willimon answered that they "Need to have a good sense of what we're shooting because our sched is tight. But we do revise text in rehearsal sometimes."
iDigital Times reported that Netflix is currently in the midst of sorting out an air date for House of Cards so that it doesn't conflict with its next project, Arrested Development.
However, in terms of its competition, the website suspects that Netflix will want to avoid competing with AMC's Breaking Bad, which would it most likely result in its rollout in the fall.
