​This Valentine's Day, you could find yourself bingeing on something other than candy. All 13 episodes of Netflix's "House of Cards" Season 2 are coming Feb. 14, to the cheers of single people everywhere.

But according to The Verge"Its moody atmosphere should do plenty to remind viewers of why the show is so addictive in the first place."

Netflix has kept an incredibly tight lip on the second installment of newly appointed Vice President Frank Underwood's seedy labyrinth of Washington schemes, but here's what we do know:

But the show is rumored to be gaining at least one new director from within the "House of Cards" family: Robin Wright. (Via The New York Times)

​Also, the cast has added at least two more actors to the mix: Sam Page, who played Joan's estranged husband on AMC's "Mad Men," and Canadian actress Molly Parker, an alum of HBO's "Deadwood."

"House of Cards"' first season was a critically acclaimed success, receiving nine Emmy nominations and taking home three awards. Also, it sparked Netflix's hugely successful strides in original programming throughout 2013.

"House of Cards"' Season 2 release will take place nearly a year to the day after the first season's premiere, giving fans a little more than two months to refresh their memories.
