In the sixth and final season of House of Cards, Academy Award Nominees Diane Lane and Greg Kinnear star as Annette Shepherd and Bill Shepherd, a sister and brother who inherited Shepherd Unlimited, a leading industrial conglomerate whose family foundations exert a powerful behind-the-scenes force in the American political landscape. The two share a vision for the future of America, as well as a complicated past with the Underwoods.

Rising star Cody Fern (The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, American Horror Story: Apocalypse) stars as Duncan Shepherd, Annette’s ambitious and devoted son, who represents the next generation of DC power players.
