IN BRIEF ‘House of Cards’ announces return in May for 5th season BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — “House of Cards” will return in May for a fifth season.

An upside-down flag is a signal of distress. The show stars Kevin Spacey as President Frank Underwood and Robin Wright as his wife, first lady Claire Underwood. The upcoming season will be the first under new co-showrunners Melissa James Gibson and Frank Pugliese. Former showrunner Beau Willimon stepped away from the role after last season.
