It's Frank (Kevin Spacey) versus Claire (Robin Wright) in the first official trailer of "House of Cards" season 4.

In the clip, Frank is heard saying, "You have no idea what it means to have nothing." Claire is seen arriving at the house she used to share with Frank, and it looks like she means business as she has brought someone with her while she faces off against her ex-husband and Doug Stamper (Michael Kelly).

"You don't value what we have achieved," Frank continues. "I have had to fight for everything my entire life!"

"I saw a future—our future," Claire says.

"We had a future until you started destroying it," Frank retorts.

The footage shows Frank on the campaign trail as he speaks to a cheering crowd at Hooper Industries. The new season also looks as though a terrorist attack is going to happen in a future episode as a big group of people drop to their knees and scramble around on the floor while several men in black suits point guns at them.

Doug looks like he's back to his scheming ways as he does all he can to ensure Frank's victory. In the clip, he is seen attacking a man and trying to suffocate him by holding his nose while covering his mouth with a drinking glass.

While there certainly is going to be some tension between Claire and Frank this season, it looks like the two might reconcile against a new enemy as a bewildered-looking Frank comes out of the woods and approaches his limo, and Claire can be seen sitting in it.

The fourth season of "House of Cards" will be the last for show creator Beau Willimon, who will be exiting the series as its showrunner. Last month, it was announced that the series has been picked up for a fifth season on the streaming service.

"House of Cards" season 4 premieres on March 4 on Netflix.
