Kevin Spacey revives “Frank Underwood” in a witty promo for Tim Dillon’s Netflix special “I’m Your Mother”, now streaming—his first big move since legal acquittals.

Guess who’s stepping back into the spotlight? Kevin Spacey, slipping into his iconic Frank Underwood persona from House of Cards, has popped up in a surprising—and hilarious—promo for comedian Tim Dillon’s new Netflix special, I’m Your Mother.
The short video is a wild ride: Spacey’s Underwood tries to pull a classic blackmail move on Dillon, dangling the comedian’s DoorDash history and some shady photos over his head. But Dillon, with his razor-sharp wit, doesn’t miss a beat—he fires back that the photos are already plastered online, leaving Underwood’s scheme dead in the water.
It’s a brilliant clash of dark humor and quick banter, capped off with Spacey dropping the act just enough to grumble an endorsement, dubbing Dillon a “cockroach” before admitting he’s a fan of the comedian’s unfiltered vibe.

Dillon’s I’m Your Mother, now streaming on Netflix, is a full-on showcase of his take-no-prisoners comedy. If you’ve caught his podcast, The Tim Dillon Show, you know the deal—over a million weekly viewers tune in for his fearless, unapologetic takes. This special doubles down on that energy, and it’s already making waves.
Spacey’s cameo, though, is the real eyebrow-raiser here. After getting the boot from House of Cards in 2017 amid sexual misconduct allegations, he’s had a rough few years in the headlines. Legal battles followed: in 2022, he was cleared in a lawsuit from actor Anthony Rapp, and in 2023, a UK court acquitted him of sex crime charges. Seeing him revive Underwood—a role tied to his glory days—feels like a tentative toe-dip back into the public eye.
The promo’s picking up steam on social media, and it’s easy to see why. It’s an odd-couple pairing that works—Spacey’s dramatic chops bouncing off Dillon’s irreverent edge. If you’re into that mix of nostalgia and comedy with a bite, I’m Your Mother is ready to stream on Netflix now.
