Want 'House of Cards' season 3 spoilers? How about murderer and Vice President Frank Underwood wheeling and dealing his way all the way to Vatican? Meanwhile, the State of Maryland struck a new deal with the show's producers and keeping the $100 million it contributes to the local economy.

When asked by Baltimore Sun to dish out "House of Cards" season 3 spoilers, specifically what happens to Frank Underwood, Kevin Spacey said (and hopefully kidding): "Pope? The presidency is one thing, but how about Pope Francis?"

He said the showrunners, David Fincher and Beau Willimon, are not afraid to see through the end what they started, including seeing how dark Frank Underwood's character will become.

However, he declined to provide more Easter egg when prodded to provide more "House of Cards" season 3 spoilers for fear of being picked as a headline.

"It's probably best I don't add to the conversation," he said. "So, I'm going to bow out and simply say I have every intention of starting shooting when we're supposed to be starting shooting."

Meanwhile, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley will give tax credits to Media Rights Capital, creator of "House of Cards," in order to keep the Netflix series within the state.

In a statement, per Deadline, the governor said after inking the deal of how continued production in the state could provide them benefits.

"We're going to keep the 3700 jobs and more than 100 million dollars of economic activity and investment that 'House Of Cards' generates right here in Maryland," the governor said.

Under the 2014 Film Production Tax Credit of the State of Maryland, the "House of Cards" will receive $11.5 million for production and another $7.5 million in grants in the state's 2015 budget.

The total tax credit is an improvement from the first two seasons the Media Rights Capital got when it was granted a total of $26 million,Deadline reported.
