Kevin Spacey returns as master-manipulator politician Frank Underwood, in the third season of the hugely popular TV show "House of Cards."

Produced by Netflix, Season 3 picks up where season 2 left off with Frank in his new role as U.S. President.

To celebrate the launch of the new season, Spacey and his co-star Robin Wright were in London for a premiere at the Empire cinema in Leicester Square.

Spacey says that Underwood is the sort of character that often fascinates audiences.

"These are kinds of characters that audiences are fascinated by, so I don't think Frank is particularly unique in that way, it's a long, long line of audiences being fascinated by these kinds of figures."

Two episodes from the latest series are directed by Robin Wright who says that she hopes to do more in the future.

"That would be great. It's tough with being on the show and just time, we need more hours in the day to do it. But I love directing so much fun."

"House of Cards" Season 3 is released on Netflix today at 12 am, Eastern Standard time.
