House of Cards creator Beau Willimon teased fans today by tweeting a "sneak peek" leak of the season 3 script.

Season 3 is not expected until 2015, but Willimon joined hundreds of others by pranking his fans as an April Fools' Day joke by posting the fake script below:

Fans of the political drama binge-watched all 13 episodes of the show's second season when it was released on Netflix in February.

The show's third season was set to begin filming this month, but is still caught up with tax credit issues in the state of Maryland.

House of Cards producers said in January that they would stop filming the show in Maryland if they were denied more tax credit money by authorities. Those behind the Netflix show boasted how the show had created jobs and income for the area, and used the political show's benefits to the area to demand advantages in return from authorities.

However, Del. William Frick (D-Montgomery) stepped up against House of Cards producers who had tried to strong handle the state with an ultimatum. He went before his peers in the Senate saying that if the show left, the state would use eminent domain to seize, purchase or even condemn the show's sets, equipment and property, according to The Washington Post.
