'House of Cards' Season 3 Release Date, Cast News: Jenna Stern, Kim Dickens to Join

Jenna Stern, a "Law & Order" star who has played multiple roles (seven, to be exact) in the show, is reportedly joining the "House of Cards" on its upcoming Season 3. She will be playing the role of the ambassador to the United Nations in a yet-to-be-named character.

"House of Cards Season 3" will premiere early 2015 on Netflix, reports say. No official announcement has been made yet but if we follow the usual release pattern for the show, then it may be returning on February.

Netflix is yet to divulge just how significant the role will be to the other characters and how it will change the "political world" in the "House of Cards."

Meanwhile, Kim Dickens has also been reported to appear in a recurring role for the show. The actress has appeared on such TV shows as "Deadwood," "Treme," "Friday Night Lights" and "Sons of Anarchy."

The airing of the show's new season has reportedly been delayed because of tax issues in Maryland where most of the previous scenes were filmed. The production team was recently seen filming in Washington D.C.

A report from the Washington Post said the "House of Cards" created 6,000 jobs and contributed more than $250 million to Maryland's economy. According to Breathe Cast, the issues concerning Maryland taxes were already resolved by the House of Cards production team last April 25.

Now that filming has already begun, the show is expected to wrap up by the end of the year and the new season is slated to start airing early next year.
