While filming of season 3 of House of Cards is currently underway, an exciting bit of news has surfaced because of a production leak.

Ayla Sayyad To Cause Serious Trouble For Frank In Season 3 Of House of Cards?

City Paper, a local Baltimore publication reported that the Russian band, Pussy Riot, will feature in the Netflix series on August 8. The publication cited two inside sources from the show, which is currently being filmed in Maryland.

"Nadezhda and Maria from Pussy Riot were on set, and are in season 3 of HoC," one of the sources tipped off the publication.

If this is true, it could have been motivated by a recent incident. House of Cards didn't get permission to film in the official UN headquarters in New York because the Russian representative did not consent. Pussy Riot are eblemnatic of rebelling against authority and have been the crusaders of dissent in Russia, having been put behind bars for the same.

It would be very interesting to see how they figure in Frank Underwood's (Kevin Spacey) plot.

Beau Willimon is the writer and director of the show, which also stars Robin Wright.

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.
