'House of Cards' Season 3 Spoilers: Beau Willimon Talks The 'Meaning' Of Frank Underwood's Legacy [VIDEO]
In a recent event sponsored by The Smithsonian, House of Cards show creator Beau Willimon spoke about the Netflix series and very unwillingly dished on season 3.
On June 20, the Washington Post captured Willimon's interaction with the New York Times' David Carr at the event, which was held at the Natural History Museum in New York.
Wilimon hesitantly revealed the more philosophical turns the show might take in the next season, particularly dealing with Frank Underwood's (Kevin Spacey) jourey to the top. It seems like Underwood might struggle to find purpose in his life as he reaches his goal of presidency.

"What do you you do when you're on top of it?" Willimon said. "Who are you? You can no longer say, 'I'm the guy trying to reach the summit.'"
At this point the showrunner also spoke about Frank's legacy and how its meaning might elude him.
"Now, it had to have meaning. It used to be that the meaning was getting there," Willimon said.
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.
