The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3: Everything we know
NetflixMickey Haller is confirmed to be coming back for a third outing – here’s everything we know so far about The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3.
Michael Connelly’s car-cruising attorney was first brought to life onscreen by Matthew McConaughey in a 2011 movie before Manuel Garcia-Rulfo took the wheel for a Netflix series.
The show describes him as “an iconoclastic idealist” who runs his law practice out of the back seat of his Lincoln, as he takes on cases big and small across the expansive city of Los Angeles.
The patience of the fans was rewarded today when Part 2 of the second season dropped, but they’ll inevitably wonder: will there be a Season 3 of The Lincoln Lawyer, and when will it come out? Here’s what we know.
Does The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 have a release window?
There is no current release window for The Lincoln Lawyer’s third season – but we do know it won’t be coming in 2024.
NetflixThis is thanks to the streaming platform’s 2024 slate released earlier this year, also ruling out a return for other hit shows such as Virgin River and Stranger Things.
Season 3 was officially renewed by Netflix back in August 2023, with showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez revealing that new episodes will begin with a flashback.
“We decided that a fun (and poignant) way to come into the season would be via a flashback sequence that gave us some insight into how Mickey Haller became Mickey Haller — not just the brilliant criminal defense lawyer, but the husband, the father, and the man that he would come to be,” the pair told Tudum.
The same article also states that The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 is currently in production.
The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 cast: Who’s in it?
Series regular Neve Campbell is set to become a recurring role rather than a main cast member, but it’s expected that the rest of the main Lincoln Lawyer cast will return.
NetflixBased on the ending of Season 2, this will include:
- Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mickey Haller
- Becki Newton as Lorna Crane
- Jazz Raycole as Izzy Letts
- Angus Sampson as Dennis “Cisco” Wojciechowski
- Yaya DaCosta as Andrea “Andy” Freemann
- Devon Graye as Julian La Cosse
- Elliott Gould as David “Legal” Siegel
- Krista Warner as Hayley Haller
- Fiona Rene as Gloria Dayton
Neve Campbell plays Maggie McPherson, Mickey’s ex-wife and a hard-nosed prosecutor herself.
According to Netflix, four new cast members are also set to join Mickey’s ranks, including:
- Merrin Dungey as Judge Regina Turner
- Allyn Moriyon as Eddie Rojas
- John Pirruccello as William Forsythe
- Philip Anthony-Rodriguez as Adam Suarez
What will The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 be about?
Though nothing has been confirmed, Season 3 is set to be based on the Michael Connelly novel The Gods of Guilt, picking up where Season 2 left off.
NetflixSo far, the only plot officially confirmed for the third season is the first stages of the opening flashback. “These images of a young Mickey finishing up surfing before a life-changing day at work, as well as cuddling on the couch with his wife Maggie after putting their young daughter Hayley to bed, are from a pair of these flashback scenes that bookend the first episode and propel us into the rest of Season 3,” Humphrey and Rodriguez also told Tudum.
However, as we know Season 3 will adapt the fifth book in Connelly’s series, we do have an idea of where the series might go. In the book, Mickey “takes on the case of Andre La Cosse, a “digital pimp” who allegedly murdered Gloria Dayton, an old friend of his.”
This means that The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 could be about to get a lot more personal, with Gloria telling Mickey to call him if he ever got in trouble back in Season 2.
The Season 2 finale also showed Mickey avoiding being hit by a speeding car, with its driver sending him a message at the same time, which is likely to also be revisited in opening episodes.
