The butchery will begin on February 14.

Netflix has released the first extended trailer for House of Cards Season 2 and it features Kevin Spacey narrating over upcoming scenes from the acclaimed drama, as Frank Underwood has successfully made his way to the Vice Presidency.

But Kate Mara's Zoe Barnes is getting closer to the truth about Frank and Peter, while Robin Wright's Claire must deal with the scrutiny that comes along with her new position.

Expect lying, expect deceipt and look for the butchery to begin, as the closing tagline of the promo reads. Watch now:
