It nabbed 4 Golden Globe nominations yesterday and news of its return sparked an internet frenzy so we're sure House of Cards fans will be only too delighted to discover that Netflix has just released a brand new teaser trailer for the upcoming second series.

This brand new offering includes highlights from its first season and the first look footage from the upcoming second season.

For those of you who missed it, here's the scoop on Season 2: Francis (Spacey) and Claire (Wright) Underwood continue their ruthless rise to power as threats mount on all fronts. However, Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara), an up-and-coming reporter and Francis’s former paramour, is inching closer to the truth about his crimes, while President Walker’s billionaire confidante Raymond Tusk (Gerald McRaney) demands that Francis reciprocate political favors or face retribution.

Meanwhile, Claire must confront the increasing glare of the spotlight as it eats away at her and Francis’s once private existence. The Underwood’s must overcome these dangers - past and present - to avoid losing everything, regardless of collateral damage they leave in their wake.

We're guessing February 14th 2014 can't come fast enough then, eh?
