Neve Campbell will be joining the cast of political drama House Of Cards, it has been confirmed.

The Scream star will join Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright in the fourth series of the hit political drama on Netflix.

Neve’s character is currently being kept under wraps – but there has been speculation that as Frank and Claire Underwood head towards the election they will face competition from a younger rival couple.

The new season will be shot this summer in and around Baltimore, and is due to air in 2016.

Neve, 41, has had guest appearances in Mad Men and Grey’s Anatomy in the last few years, but has not committed to a full-time role in a major TV series since she made her name in 90s family drama Party Of Five.

The Craft star’s last major movie role was in Scream 4 in 2011.
