The third season of the political drama "House of Cards" is relatively fresh off the press, having been available for ony a month, and yet many fans of the series have already devoured the entire 13-episode season and are already clamoring for the fourth. There are no details yet on how the creator of the series will specifically guide the political and private entanglements of politician Frank Underwood, played by Kevin Spacey, or on when the series will finally continue. 

However, in an interview with IndieWire, series creator Beau Willimon talked about why the show has switched from its focus on big-name scandals and instead became more political. Also, while he brilliantly dodged the question about a fourth season, it was nonetheless strongly hinted at when he detailed about Washington's interest in the series. 

"We've gotten a great response from folks in D.C. I think that a lot of people that work in politics appreciate the show for a few reasons. One, they realize we go to great pains to make the mechanics of politics as authentic as we can," said Willimon. 

During a Google+ Hangout session, the creator also had this to say: "We haven't even announced a fourth season, so when it comes to how many seasons of 'House of Cards' there may or may not be, I'll have to steal a line from Francis Underwood: 'You might very well ask that I couldn't possibly comment.'" 

Aside from answering queries on the next season of the popular series, Willimon also cautioned fans about watching the entire season in just one go. He said that the show is not written to be binged. However, he reiterated that the way they are releasing the entire season in just one day is so that people can have an option on where and when to watch the episodes.
