With “House of Cards” going in a completely new direction this season by axing the star of the show, Kevin Spacey, a newcomer is emerging to deny that the actor was the star of the show at all. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, “House of Cards” Season 6 actor Cody Fern suggested that those upset by the pivot from Spacey’s Frank Underwood to Robin Wright’s Claire as the principal star happened well before the actor’s recent firing amid public scrutiny. “[There’s] an exciting energy,” Fern said of the sixth and final season. It’s unclear specifically what in Season 2 makes Fern think that she moved to the forefront back then, but it seems that’s the mood on set. “House of Cards" is expected to return for its final season in the fall.
