In the fifth season, which released on May 30 on Netflix, President Underwood "uses fear to get votes," actor Kevin Spacey, who plays the role, told Late Night's Seth Meyers of the Underwoods on the campaign trail now that wife Claire (Robin Wright) is his running mate.
"What's interesting is that there are people who watch the show and even that, as an example, last year and thought, 'Oh that's crazy. That could never happen.' And then suddenly 18 months later it's like, 'Oh, wait a second.
That actually could happen.' Or it is happening," said Spacey about how season five will resonate with President Donald Trump's America. "I think that we're scarier than we have ever been before."
