Valentine’s Day weekend just got really busy: Netflix has released House of Cards season 2 in its entirety.
The beloved political drama starring Kevin Spacey, Robin Wright, Kate Mara, and Michael Kelly follows Frank Underwood’s rise to power in Washington D.C. with the help of his wife, reporter friend, assistant, and a world of other characters.

House of Cards season 2 debuted at 12:01 a.m. pacific/3:00 a.m. eastern Friday, February 14 on Netflix. The streaming service always uses this specific time in the middle of the night to drop new episodes of their original series.
Watch a trailer for House of Cards season 2 below:
“Frank’s rapid ascension to the heights of power means big changes for both him and Claire, but his sudden rise creates powerful enemies and the increasing chance that his dark secrets will be exposed,” says Netflix of season 2. “There is but one rule: Hunt or be hunted.” The show has kept a tight lid on plot points in season 2, so virtually no details have leaked about what happens in the new episodes. What we do know is that Frank is now Vice President of the United States.
Netflix announced earlier this month that the show has been renewed for a third season. A release date hasn’t been set, but we would expect it to drop around this time of year in 2015.
