"House of Cards" is coming back Nov. 2 without its conniving one-time president Francis Underwood, played by Kevin Spacey.

Netflix's first break-out hit returns with Robin Wright's Claire Underwood in the Oval Office. That we already knew. 

But the teaser released Wednesday shows how Claire is spending her free time -- talking to her late husband at his gravesite.

"I'll tell you this, though, Francis: When they bury me, it won't be in my backyard. And when they pay their respects, they'll have to wait in line."

Production on the final season shut down last fall after allegations of sexual assault against Spacey, who was fired in November. 

It picked up shortly after sans Spacey, this time with Wright leading the series as Claire, the wife of Spacey's Francis, who became president in the fifth season. New to the season are Diane Lane and Greg Kinnear who will play siblings, Netflix said.

Other cast members, including Michael Kelly, Jayne Atkinson, Patricia Clarkson, Constance Zimmer and Campbell Scott will also return.
