From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

If anything can attest to the popularity of Netflix drama House of Cards, it's the fact that a 25-second teaser can incite extreme excitement in even the most casual of TV viewer.

Now with season four just over a month away, we've been treated to our first official teaser for the approaching series.

The brief clip shows Doug Stamper (Michael Kelly) - the president's long-suffering and (spoilers if you haven't seen the season three finale) now-murderous aide - digging a grave alongside Kevin Spacey's Frank Underwood.

This being House of Cards, there is, of course, a slight twist to what you're watching; watch the clip below to find out.

There are no signs of any other characters from the series, most notably the First Lady, Claire Underwood (Robin Wright).

There has also been no word on what to expect from the new season plot-wise but, going by the first three, we're going to go ahead and assume there will be plenty of machiavellian scheming, lots of head-locking and a dose of murder.

The fourth season of House of Cards will be available to watch on Netflix from 4 March.
