House of Cards' sixth and final season will air this November and it's packing some serious girl power with President Claire Underwood officially in the Oval Office. The last series saw Robin Wright’s character Claire get sworn in after Frank Underwood resigns following an investigation for his involvement in the death of Zoe Barnes. Picking up where it left off the final season will centre around Claire as she takes over the role of President of the United States. The political drama’s last series will no longer feature Kevin Spacey's character, Frank, and will span eight only episodes as opposed to its previous 13.

With a very convincing Scottish accent, Chris Pine has swapped his Star Fleet uniform for a kilt in this historical Netflix original drama.

With Season one frontwoman Jessica Biel acting as Executive Producer, The Sinner's new season is set to be just as good as the first. Season two follows Ambrose (Bill Pullman) as he returns to his hometown to work on an unsettling and eerie crime — parents murdered by their 11-year-old son. As the investigation brings the hidden darkness of his hometown to light, Ambrose must work against those who aim to protect the secrets of the townspeople in hopes of unravelling the truth. Already in full swing in the US, we can't wait to watch when this bone-chilling series lands on Netflix in the UK.
