As news of Netflix expanding its presence in the world broke, it seems like while Germany will be getting the service that revolutionised television it might be deprived of House of Cards.

Netlfix will be accesible to most of Europe -- in countries like Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, and Luxembourg -- by the end of this year but the service will be different depending on the region. This will be the case not only because of a lack of rights to certain movies in some countries but also because they will be taking into account various factors to decide what's suitable for the market and that might also be sourced from piracy sites to find out what's popular in a country.

Interestingly enough, while House of Cards is Netflix's original show, it does not own international rights to air it in a foreign country for the first time, Germans aren't as familiar with the series, and "will not understand what their American friends have been talking about" according to BusinessWeek.

The third season of House of Cards will film in Maryland, where the first and second seasons were also shot. Initially, the continuation of filming of the third season of the Netflix series was fraught with troubles over the past few weeks as the producers weren't getting permission from the State of Maryland. But the issue was finally resolved on April 25.
