The Lincoln Lawyer has captured the hearts of viewers with its gripping legal drama, charismatic lead, and thrilling twists. The third season, which premiered on Netflix on October 17, 2024, brought fans another intense storyline based on The Gods of Guilt, the fifth book in Michael Connelly’s Lincoln Lawyer series. With Manuel Garcia-Rulfo reprising his role as defense attorney Mickey Haller, fans were once again drawn into his world of high-stakes legal battles. But with the season ending on a jaw-dropping cliffhanger, fans are eager to know: will there be a Season 4?
What Happened in Season 3?
Season 3 of The Lincoln Lawyer follows Mickey Haller as he investigates the murder of his former client, Gloria “Glory Days” Dayton, while becoming entangled in a conspiracy that puts his life at risk. Throughout the season, Mickey navigates attacks on his safety, the murder of his driver Eddie, and confrontations with dangerous figures linked to drug trafficking. The mystery intensifies when former detective Neil Bishop confesses that DEA agent James De Marco killed Glory Days. In a shocking courtroom moment, Bishop takes his own life after testifying, and De Marco flees the country.
In the season finale, Mickey faces a personal crisis. After being pulled over by police, he’s arrested when they discover the body of his former client, Sam Scales, in the trunk of his car. This cliffhanger leaves Mickey’s future uncertain, setting the stage for more drama in the next season.
Has ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ Been Renewed for Season 4?
As of now, Netflix has not officially confirmed whether The Lincoln Lawyer will return for a fourth season. However, showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez have expressed optimism about continuing the series. They teased that they have plans for future seasons, including potential adaptations of the remaining books in Connelly’s series. They’re confident that if audiences continue to enjoy the show, Netflix will greenlight more seasons.
In a recent interview, the showrunners revealed that they have a vision for where Mickey’s journey will go next. “We have plans internally for how to adapt versions of all the books,” said Humphrey. With hints that author Michael Connelly may be working on additional books, there’s potential for the series to extend even beyond the published material.
When Can We Expect Season 4?
While there’s no official word yet, if The Lincoln Lawyer follows Netflix’s usual release schedule, fans might expect Season 4 to debut sometime in late 2025. The showrunners’ enthusiasm and the audience’s strong reception make it likely that we’ll see more of Mickey Haller’s legal exploits in the future.
For now, fans can only wait to see if Netflix renews the series, but with the showrunners’ plans and the thrilling cliffhanger, there’s plenty of reason to be hopeful for another season of The Lincoln Lawyer.
