'House of Cards' Season 4 Spoilers, News & Updates: Kevin Spacey Gives Exclusive Sneak Peek

Frank Underwood of "House of Cards" may not be the real president of the United States, but that doesn't mean Kevin Spacey can't be the country's commander-in-chief for a night.

On Monday night, Netflix had an exclusive event for the new season debut of "House of Cards." In fact, anyone living a rock could've easily suspected that Kevin Spacey is the new POTUS had they seen him at the Washington D.C. event.

Arriving at the National Portrait Gallery, Spacey rolled up in a limousine, which was painstakingly similar for the presidential vehicle known as "the Beast," reported the Washington Post.

The whole set up was complete with so-called Secret Service agents as Spacey - in character as Frank Underwood, of course - entered the gallery and spoke in front of a crowd before the premiere of "House of Cards" season 4 episode 1.

Taking the stage, Kevin Spacey unveiled a portrait of himself, that looked like a legitimate presidential portrait. To complete the whole scene, Kevin even stood on a podium that had the presidential seal on it.

As it turns out, the whole crowd at the Netflix publicity stint were a mix of real and faux Washington officials, who mingled at a "part marketing stunt, part social event, with a dash of art."

Guests included presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett, First Lady Chief of Staff Tina Tchen, and cast members Michael Kelly, Neve Campbell, and Jane Atkinson - all of whom were also in character, blending in with the Washington stereotype.

Surely, no one would want to hear any spoilers about what happened in the season 4 debut, but here's a clue: "Ellen Burstyn steals the show," reports David Zurawik of The Baltimore Sun.

"House of Cards" season 4 will be available on Netflix starting March 4.
