Exciting news for The Lincoln Lawyer fans! The makers of Netflix's legal drama series have confirmed that the show has been renewed for a fifth season, ahead of the Season 4 premiere on Feb. 5. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo will reprise his role as defense attorney Mickey Haller.
In an official statement to Netflix, creator/co-showrunner/executive producer Ted Humphrey and co-showrunner/executive producer Dailyn Rodriguez said, “We’re so excited to share the upcoming season with the audience on Feb. 5, and even more excited to share the news that we’re already hard at work on the next one. Season 4 is the most challenging and intensely personal journey we’ve taken Mickey Haller on yet, and we’re thrilled and grateful to be able to continue the ride in Season 5!”
The fifth season will be based on the seventh book in author Michael Connelly's 'The Lincoln Lawyer' series, 'Resurrection Walk'. Garcia-Rulfo's co-stars in Season 4 include Neve Campbell, Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, Angus Sampson, and Cobie Smulders.
What to expect from 'The Lincoln Lawyer' Season 4
The fourth season of The Lincoln Lawyer will pick up from the cliffhanger ending of Season 3. In a recent Netflix interview, Humphrey shared that the show will have Mickey facing his "biggest and most personal challenge" yet, calling it the "biggest roller coaster we’ve yet taken our audience on."
Humphrey also expressed earlier his elation at directing the first two episodes of Season 4. "As a director, I was so happy with how the third season finale turned out, and I am also directing the opener of Season 4, so it feels like we are picking up right where we left off, which is really fun for me and also creatively very satisfying.”
The Lincoln Lawyer was first adapted 15 years ago as a movie starring Mathew McConaughey. The first season of the series was based on 'The Brass Verdict', the sequel to the source material on which the McConaughey film was based. The second season, released in two parts, was based on 'The Fifth Witness', and the third season, 'The Gods of Guilt'.
