In a recent interview, Beau Willimon, showrunner of House of Cards, spoke about the leak of the 13 episodes of season 3, and assured fans that there were plenty surprises left and that all hadn't been figured out yet.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Willimon's reaction to the whole debacle was actually pretty positive.

"I was actually very amused by the whole thing and then delighted to see what a huge response we got from the fans. So many people are excited about what's going to happen two weeks from now," he said.

He also seemed unfazed by overspillage of spoilers on account of the leak, and believed that not too much damage had been done.

"No harm done," he said. "We take great care, obviously, to keep as much of the story secret as possible and there a little bit of the story was let out but there are plenty of surprises ahead. Twenty minutes is not enough for people to have figured everything out."

Willimon also suggested that the leak, which lasted for 20 minutes, caused a whole bunch of deducements and speculations about which direction the next chapter was headed in, many of which were far from accurate. He added that a lot of the guesswork was getting it wrong, but he would not really point fans to the right direction.

"There's plenty of speculation on the Web in terms of what people gathered from watching those first 20 minutes or people who scrubbed ahead to subsequent episodes," he said. "And all I will say is some of that speculation is right and some of it is wrong," he told THR, laughing. "But I won't tell you which is which."

The third season will premiere on February 27.
