House of Cards is due to premiere at the end of the month but fans were treated to a surprise. That is, if they were quick. Really quick. The show, for a brief shining moment in time, was available on Netflix yesterday.
Leaked Synopsis May Give Details Around First Episode
The streaming service was quick to pull the ten early episodes from the site so fans could really only catch a few moments of the first episode. As for people who tried to skip to the last episode (you dirty cheaters you), they were out of luck reported People.
The leak only held the first 10 episodes out of the 13 that are set to air. So no, we don't know if Frank dies, Claire kills him, or something else. Yet.
Is Doug Really Dead? Sources Point to Yes
Early reports of fans that did manage to catch a few moments of the show, which with the quickness it was pulled, was only a few minutes of the first episode, report that it is a dark season.
The company reported that this was a complete accident on their part, caused by a glitch in the system.
A computer glitch that loved spoilers.
In any case, not a publicity stunt on their part to drum up interest in the series. As if they needed any. A tweet from the network shows that even though it was an accident, they're taking it all in stride.
This is Washington. There's always a leak. All 13 episodes will launch February 27.

Fans will just have to wait until the official release date to see what really happens.
House of Cards returns to Netflix (for real this time) on February 27.
