Baltimore is buzzing with activity these days as filming for "House of Cards" begins. The cast and crew have been to the city around the same time as the last four seasons, as Baltimore is transformed into Washington, D.C. for the Netflix series.
'House Of Cards' Season 5 In Baltimore
A local CBS site reports that the crew for "House of Cards" Season 5 was spotted on the streets on Wednesday, but pre-production has been going on a few weeks before. While residents and locals say that the presence of production trucks are no longer unusual, given how long the show has been filming on location, it's still a delight to see the stars of the show in the flesh.
On Reddit a Baltimore resident shares that "House of Cards" star Kevin Spacey bought boxes of pizza for one neighborhood to thank them for allowing the cast and crew to disrupt their lives during filming. Some shared that they have been seeing the cast around town as well during the filming's downtimes.

'House of Cards' Producer Talks Show's End
Meanwhile, "House of Cards" producer Dana Brunetti discussed the show's end with CNBC. There have been speculations that the series will have its last this season following the departure of its original showrunner. There have also been speculations of a potential spinoff minus its star Kevin Spacey, per a previous Parent Herald report.
But Brunetti shared that they actually don't have a proper ending in mind just yet. However, he acknowledged that "House of Cards" would have been a lot different if it weren't on Netflix, but on a network television. "It would be watered down considerably," said Brunetti.
"House of Cards" Season 5 won't be streaming on Netflix until early 2017. The show's complete episodes are estimated to be released either in end of February or early March, as with the last four seasons.
