A year since the last season dropped, The Lincoln Lawyer is now back on Netflix for a third season, and this time Mickey Haller is defending an innocent man who has been accused of murdering Gloria Dayton, who Mickey previously defended all the way back in season one. But is this case the last we’ll see of Mickey? Or will he back solving crimes again? Here’s what we know about a potential season four of The Lincoln Lawyer.
Has The Lincoln Lawyer been confirmed for season 4?
As of yet there’s been no *official* word from Netflix The Lincoln Lawyer will be returning for a fourth season. However, the series show-runners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez sound optimistic when talking about the future of The Lincoln Lawyer.
While being interviewed by TV Insider ahead of the release of season three, the pair said they’re always thinking ahead when it comes to the writing of the show.
Rodriguez said: “We always set up sort of the next case of the season. This one won’t quite set up the next case, but it will definitely set up the next book.”
Humphrey added Michael Connelly, who wrote the original The Lincoln Lawyer book series, is potentially planning to write more novels in the series.
“I think we can say this season will definitely propel us in a very exciting and personal way into a season four. Michael hints that he’s potentially working on another Lincoln Lawyer book beyond the ones that have already been published. We don’t know that for sure. Obviously, if he is working on one, we are very eager to read it,” he said.
Humphrey also added they had plans for how they would adapt the rest of Connelly’s novels and hinted at future seasons.
“We have plans internally for how to adapt versions of all the books. If the audience keeps enjoying what we’re doing, then we will keep making the show… we would go for a potential season five and even six beyond that,” he explained.
Season three was confirmed at the end of August 2023, nearly a whole month after the second part of season two dropped, so if it is good news we might need to wait a while to hear about it.
What could happen in The Lincoln Lawyer season 4?
As mentioned The Lincoln Lawyer is based on Michael Connelly’s novels of the same name. So far the Netflix series has adapted three novels from the series – The Fifth Witness, The Gods of Guilt and of course The Lincoln Lawyer – but there’s still four more books in the series that could be made for TV.
Right now it’s not clear which one will be the next, so we’ll just have to hope we’ll find out soon.
Who would be in the cast of The Lincoln Lawyer season 4?
If The Lincoln Lawyer were to return for a fourth season, we’d of course expect Manuel Garcia-Rulfo to return as lawyer Mickey Haller.
We’d also expect the following cast members to return:
- Becki Newton as Lorna Crane
- Jazz Raycole as Izzy Letts
- Angus Sampson as Cisco
- Yaya DaCosta as Andrea Freemann
- Neve Campbell as Maggie McPherson
- Elliott Gould as David Siegel
- Krista Warner as Hayley Haller
Crossing our fingers that season four announcement comes soon.
The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 is available on Netflix now
