When did House of Cards season six become available on Netflix?
The show returned to Netflix on Friday, November 2, 2018.
It dropped on the streaming service just after midnight with the entire series going live at once.
Season 6 is made up of just eight episodes, or chapters, the shortest in the show's history.
What will happen to Kevin Spacey character Frank Underwood?
Kevin Spacey has NOT returned for the final season as Frank Underwood after the double-Oscar winner was hit with a series of sexual harassment allegations.
Netflix announced it was severing ties with the star at the time the final series was almost completed.
The show was forced into a three-month hiatus as show bosses scrambled to rewrite the character out of the final episodes.
In the first trailer released in September 2018, it was revealed Frank is dead as Robin Wright's character Claire Underwood is seen visiting his grave.
A second trailer was released showing Claire in power - and not everyone is happy.

What will happen in House of Cards season six?
Apart from Frank's death, not much is known yet about what will happen in the revamped final season of the long-running drama.
We do know that the series will follow the new 47th President of the United States Claire Underwood after she inherited the Oval Office from her husband Frank.
In a clip released in March, the former First Lady and VP announced directly to the camera in a similar fashion to her husband in prior seasons: "We're just getting started."
New characters Annette and Bill Shepher, who are sister and brother, will make an entrance.
Billionaire Annette is one of the most powerful women in America and a former "school" pal of the President.
