As filming for season 3 of House of Cards is currently underway, a new report speculates that the next chapter of the Netflix series is set to premiere in February next year.

The report states that the show will make its grand return early next year. Also judging by show creator Beau Willimon's recent interview where he stated that a season of House of Cards takes 7 months to film, February makes sense as filming for the show had begun in June this year.

In a special interaction with Breaking Bad's Vince Gilligan, for Variety, Willimon spoke about the how long it takes him and his crew to write and film House of Cards. He revealed that it takes seven months to write "13 hours" of the show and "another seven months to film it."

He went on to get into why they needed as much time for conception, execution and delivery.

"The pace at which we work might seem luxurious to a lot of folks at the big broadcast network world, but it feels pretty fast to me. To go much faster than that for me, it would be difficult to create the sort of layered and interwoven narratives that we're after," he said. "The more time I put into something the better it is, because for me writing is a trial and error game. It's banging my head against the wall, either until you break through or the wall breaks your head. And you need the time to make those mistakes so that you can maybe reach the good thing on the other side. And going much faster than we do, I don't know if I would get enough bangs against the wall."

The third season of House of Cards is currently filming in Maryland, where the first and second seasons were also shot. Initially, the continuation of filming of the third season of the Netflix series was fraught with troubles over the past few weeks as the producers weren't getting permission from the State of Maryland. But the issue was finally resolved on April 25.
