Though it's not set to premiere for another two weeks, Season 3 of House of Cardswas briefly released on Wednesday afternoon. Sometime around 4:30 p.m. ET the entire third season was released, though it has been taken offline now.
Ten of the 13 Season 3 episodes were available to watch for about 30 minutes.
The third season begins with Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) as president, having last season convinced the sitting president to resign through less than morally-upstanding measures. According to the plot descriptions of each episode, this season sees the characters dealing with a whole slew of new obstacles. Frank's wife Claire (Robin Wright) is pursuing an appointment to the United Nations, Russia/U.S. relations are increasingly strained, and a hurricane threatens Washington, D.C.
