Just when filming House of Cards season 3 in Maryland seemed like a green light for the show, its quest for millions more in tax breaks from the state of MD has apparently turned into a red light.

Maryland Democrat Threatens To "Seize" House of Cards Set?

Enstars recently reported about the House of Cards producers threatening to leave the state of Maryland if they did not receive more tax credits from the state, so that they can pay millions of dollars less in taxes while filming its upcoming third season.

Despite the Maryland House of Delegates' flippant rebuttal, accredited to Del. C. William "Bill" Frick (D-Montgomery), it appeared as though they would be willing to comply, and were offering "to increase the amount of available tax credits in the coming year to $18.5 million," which Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) would then have to sign off on, to seal the deal.

However, Wear TV reported Sunday that the first two seasons of House of Cards actually received $26 million in tax breaks, and now its executives are requesting even more money for filming season 3, which is impeding the production process. "We will have to break down our stage, sets and offices and set up in another state," threatened the show's execs.

On the other hand, Maryland lawmakers have apparently taken notes from Kevin Spacey's main character, and have fired back Frank Underwood-style. They responded to the show's claims with an approved amendment threatening to confiscate "certain property of certain film production entities," if the show left the state.
