Fans of The Lincoln Lawyer can finally breathe easy as Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) is all set to be back behind the wheel of his Lincoln. After getting renewed for a fourth season, the series is expected to hit Netflix soon. The legal drama, based on Michael Connelly’s bestselling novels, has become one of the streaming service’s most consistent performers, according to Netflix’s Tudum.
Season 3 of The Lincoln Lawyer ended with a shocking cliffhanger that left viewers desperate for answers. Now, co-showrunner Ted Humphrey has promised that the stakes are higher than ever.
According to Tudum, he teased, “This is going to be the biggest and most personal challenge Mickey has ever faced.”
What will Season 4 be about?
Season 4 of the show is based on Michael Connelly’s sixth book, The Law of Innocence. In a dramatic twist, Haller will find himself not as a defense attorney but as the accused.
“The biggest cliffhanger of all is ‘What is going to happen to Mickey?’ That one plays out across the whole season in the form of his trial,” Humphrey said.
Unlike previous cases, Mickey must now apply his own courtroom wisdom to save himself while protecting his loved ones, his firm, and his reputation.
New faces joining the cast
According to What’s on Netflix, the returning cast includes Becki Newton (Lorna), Jazz Raycole (Izzy), Angus Sampson (Cisco), and Neve Campbell, who will feature in all episodes as Maggie McPherson. Elliott Gould and Krista Warner also reprise their roles.

When will The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 be released?
Filming commenced on February 7, 2025, and is expected to conclude in mid-June 2025. Since Netflix has not yet provided an official release date, it is not going to be shown on the 2025 schedule.
