‘House Of Cards’ Season 5 Spoilers: Why Is Frank Trying To Get In Shape?

The Netflix political drama “House of Cards” has been dropping a lot of teasers of its upcoming Season 5 on its Twitter page, and the most recent post shows President Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) doing push-ups with a mystery man.

Does this mean Frank is trying to get in shape? For what reason? Or is Frank and the mystery man having a competition on masculinity?

Fans have shared their thoughts in the comment section. “Frank's push up form is horrid,” a fan commented. “Redundancy works in this form!” another viewer added.

Maybe Frank is working out because someone from his past has resurfaced. This character is journalist Zoe Barnes - Frank’s former lover who met her untimely demise in Season 2.

The show earlier shared a video showing Zoe talking on her mobile phone while looking out of a car window.

The short video sent fans into a tizzy. “Wait. What?! Thought she was dead as [expletive]?!?!” one fan wrote. “I thought Frank had shoved her under a train…!!” said another viewer.

“No way Zoe is alive. Something she did must be coming back to bite Frank in the ass,” wrote one fan. Another theorized Zoe could have a twin sister. Others simply complained of the long wait they would have to endure before getting answers about Zoe’s true status.

In Season 5, Spacey will be reprising his role as President Frank Underwood, Robin Wright as First Lady Claire Underwood, Michael Kelly as Doug Stamper, Paul Sparks as Thomas Yates, and Neve Campbell as political consultant LeAnn Harvey.

There will be new players in the series as well, with Oscar nominee Patricia Clarkson and Campbell Scott booking “major roles” next season, according to The Hollywood Reporter. While details of their roles are still being kept a secret for now, it has already been confirmed that they will both be featured heavily in the new season.

“House of Cards” Season 5 will premiere on Netflix on May 30.
