Surely fans of House of Cards know that the series is scheduled to premiere its 3rd season, on February 27th. However, many fans were shocked when the hit Netflix drama leaked its next season earlier than announced.

They came back later and stated it was an error, but a few fans were greeted with the show two weeks ahead of schedule.

One of the shows that popularized the binge-watching phenomenon sent fans into a frenzied thirty minutes on Wednesday late afternoon.
