Well, one thing is for sure: Netflix won’t leave The Lincoln Lawyer fans wondering what the heck will happen with Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) at the end of Season 3 for long. Today, the streamer announced that the hit series has been renewed for Season 4 and the cameras are set to start rolling sooner rather than later. Production starts this February in Los Angeles.
Netflix also revealed that, as it’s the case with the previous installments of the series, Season 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer will be spread across 10 episodes. This time, the story will be based on the sixth novel in the Lincoln Lawyer literary saga written by Michael Connelly, titled The Law of Innocence. The book has the same starting point presented at the end of Season 3: after celebrating a big win, Mickey is pulled over by a police officer only to find that there’s a dead body in the trunk of his Lincoln Continental.
The main cast is slated to return to Season 4, which includes Becki Newton (Ugly Betty) as Lorna, Jazz Raycole (My Wife and Kids) as Izzy, and Angus Sampson (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga) as Cisco. However, there are a few gaps to be filled cast-wise. In Season 3, Mickey went through a trauma related to his driver, and we don’t know if Izzy will definitely remain as the defense attorney’s driver, or if he’s hiring someone else. Netflix is also yet to announce the other major players who will take part in Mickey’s case.
Neve Campbell Will Return For All Episodes of ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ Season 4
Another announcement that takes fans by surprise regarding Season 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer is the return of Maggie McPherson (Neve Campbell). In Season 3, Mickey’s ex-wife was barely present, but Netflix is compensating for her absence in the new season by having the character featured in all ten episodes. It’s easy to see why: with Mickey in jail, Maggie will surely want to get involved in his case and visit him while he’s being held. Depending on how long Mickey is unable to fend for himself, all the main cast will have to pull their weight in order to help him prove his innocence — including Lorna, who has just passed the bar exam.
Considering the success of The Lincoln Lawyer, one could even say that Netflix took way too long to announce its renewal. When it premiered, Season 3 of the show remained for six weeks among the most-watched titles globally on the platform, and the first two seasons had even better performances. Quality-wise, the series was able to score a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes for Season 3, while the overall rating of the show stands tall at 90%.
Netflix is yet to reveal when Season 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer will debut on the platform. Seasons 1 through 3 are currently streaming on Netflix now. Stick with Collider to find out more news about it as soon as it is announced.
