Here’s everything to know about the future of The Lincoln Lawyer, Mickey, and the team.
Will There Be A Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 On Netflix?
As of The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3’s premiere date (Thursday, October 17) Netflix had yet to renew or cancel the series, but it’s typical for a streamer to wait a while after a season drops to announce a decision.
For context, Netflix renewed The Lincoln Lawyer for a Season 3 less than a month after Season 2, Part 2 premiered, and based on the show’s popularity, another case being teed up in the finale, and the fact that there are seven books in Connelly’s series, it’s likely that we’ll see Mickey Haller drive that Lincoln again down the road. While we wait for updates on the series, let’s talk about potential plot points, shall we?
What Could The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 Look Like? The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 Ending Explained:
If you’re looking for a detailed recap of The Lincoln Lawyer‘s Season 3 finale, Decider has you covered. For the purposes of potential Season 4 storylines, however, here’s what you really need to know.
As the Season 3 finale winded down, DA Suarez agreed to pay Julian more than he expected, Lorna took lead on the divorce case of the wife of the guy who thought Eddie was a valet driver, and Mickey got in even deeper with the cartel. A photo of a murdered Agent de Marco with a rattlesnake around his neck arrived at the office, and Mickey received a call from Hector Moya thanking him for his help and promising he’d handle the rival cartel for him.
To celebrate their wins, the team took the day off and grabbed lunch together. Mickey told everyone they were getting bonuses and he was finally going to take a vacation, but he wasn’t ready to quit completely. The team toasted to “The Gods of Guilt, the ones we carry around with us” and on his way out of the restaurant, Mickey saw final visions of Gloria, Eddie, and his dad. The Lincoln Lawyer hopped in his car and drove away in good spirits, only to get pulled over by a cop…
Was the cop crooked? Were the police after him because of the Gloria Dayton case? Nope! Turns out he was mysteriously missing a license plate. A perplexed Mickey said it must have been stolen when he parked downtown and agreed to take a ticket, but before the cop let him off the hook, he noticed what appeared to be blood dripping from the back of his vehicle. The officer ordered Mickey to open the trunk, and when he refused, he was cuffed and moved to the side. Against Mickey’s orders, the cop popped the trunk and uncovered a man’s bloody body inside, which had Mickey both baffled and horrified. On top of the fact that he had no idea how the body got there, the deceased was Mickey’s former client, Sam Scales (Christopher Thornton), who owed the firm a lot of money. YIKES.
A potential Season 4 will likely focus on the two cases teed up in the Season 3 finale, and because the series is based on Connelly’s books, we have an even better idea of what to expect should Netflix renew the legal drama.
Which Book Will The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 Adapt?
Based on that cliffhanger, The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 would adapt the sixth book in the series: The Law Of Innocence, which was published in 2020, seven years after Book 5. Per Connelly’s website, The Law Of Innocence‘s description is as follows, so here’s what to expect:
“Defense attorney Mickey Haller is pulled over by police, who find the body of a client in the trunk of his Lincoln. Haller is charged with murder and can’t make the exorbitant $5 million bail slapped on him by a vindictive judge.
Mickey elects to defend himself and must strategize and build his defense from his jail cell in the Twin Towers Correctional Center in downtown Los Angeles, all the while looking over his shoulder–as an officer of the court he is an instant target.
Mickey knows he’s been framed. Now, with the help of his trusted team, including Harry Bosch, he has to figure out who has plotted to destroy his life and why. Then he has to go before a judge and jury and prove his innocence.”
While we await more The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 news, the first three seasons are currently streaming on Netflix.
