House of Cards Season 3 Spoilers, Release Date, Cast, Plot Speculation: Is Doug Stamper Really Dead? Will This Season Deal With Russia Or Islamic Terrorists? [PHOTO]

House of Cards" Season 3 is currently filming, here are all the juicy rumors, spoilers and details from the upcoming season. 

Recently Kevin Spacey was a guest on "The Colbert Report" and let some possible plot details spill, he appeared as his "House of Cards" persona, Frank Underwood.

Colbert asked the opinion of President Frank Underwood about the current terrorism situation.

Spacey replied, "A dog doesn't need to show his teeth as long as his growl's deep enough, his food bowl is full and he knows where all the bones are buried."

The big rumor, one with a bit of substance to it, is that Season 3 will predominatley feature foreign affairs, specifically Russia, and some Russian actors have been seen meeting with the producers. Also, Nadezhda "Nadya" Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina, members of the Russian all-girl political band, Pussy Riot have reportedly been meeting with producers of the show according to the Wall Street Journal. So it seems likely that they will be involved in the new season of the show in some way shape or form. 

When asked by The Wall Street Journal if they are meeting with people from House of Cards, Maria Alyokhina said, "It's important for us to meet people who are doing political cinema in the U.S. because in Russia, it doesn't exist, and we want to know how it happens."

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova added, "It's not a question of what do they want, but what we want from them. And we want to learn how to do a political movie. This is our main agenda right now." The production team has neiter confirmed nor denied their involvement.

Some speculate this season will be more of a "Fall of Frank Underwood" kind of thing, where his metaphorical house of cards is knocked down. Of course then there are long standing House of Cards Season 3 spoiler updates of Doug Stamper surviving, a more intriguing role for Robin Wright, adventures of Gavin Orsay and Cashew, and after effects of Zoe Barnes and Peter Russo's death. All of which may contribute to Underwood's demise.

In July, The Baltimore Sun confirmed that the series will continue filming in their office. As in the previous two seasons, The Sun will pose as the setting for the fictional Washington Herald, and the production is expected to film in the location for the next few months.Early in August, the National Mall was closed for a motorcade scene. Earlier this summer the show was having an issue with tax incentives in Maryland, but has since reached a compromise with the state.

Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Holland (In Darkness, Rosemary's Baby) is also set to direct two episodes for season 3 which, according to The Hollywood Reporter, will be mid-season episodes.

The first two seasons premiered in February, and it's highly probable the House of Cards season 3 will be shown in the same month next year.

Doug Stamper's will likely return to the show, even though most believe his character to be dead as he has been featured in some promotional material for the show.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, cast member Rachel Brosnahan dished out some details about the characters.

"I don't think we know that he's dead yet," Brosnahan said. "It cuts so quickly. I don't think we can say for sure that Stamper is dead."

"Michael [Kelly] and I had some conversations [about the ending moments]. He's very upset with me! [Laughs] It was some tough, crazy scenes in the woods, but I don't think I've ever worked with an actor that is so kind and positive all the time. Michael's amazing. He can't be dead!"

In an interview with the Huffington Post, Michael Kelly, who plays Doug Stamper in the series, said that he does not know what will happen to his character and whether Doug is truly dead. "I don't know -- they haven't officially said," Kelly said. "And with television contracts, as an actor, when you sign those contracts you sign for a long time. So technically they still own me, but I don't know yet," he added.

"House of Cards" will likely return to Netflix in January or February (when the last two season aired). Check back for more information as we get closer to the "House of Cards" release date.
