The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 Release Date
Netflix officially announced the renewal of The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 in August 2023, with a 10-episode order. The showrunners, Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez, expressed their gratitude and excitement for the opportunity to continue the story of Mickey Haller and his world.
However, due to the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) strikes that occurred in late 2023, the production of the third season was delayed until January 2024. According to Deadline, the filming is expected to last for five months, which means it will wrap up around June 2024.
Based on the previous seasons, which took about two months from the end of filming to the release date, we can estimate that the third season of The Lincoln Lawyer will be available on Netflix around September or October 2024. However, this is not an official confirmation, and the release date may change depending on various factors.
Cast
The main cast of The Lincoln Lawyer is expected to return for the third season, led by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mickey Haller, the charismatic and unconventional defense attorney who operates out of the back of his Lincoln Town Car. Garcia-Rulfo has received critical acclaim for his portrayal of the complex and flawed character, who often finds himself in dangerous and morally ambiguous situations. Here is a table of the cast for The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3:
| Actor | Role |
|---|---|
| Manuel Garcia-Rulfo | Mickey Haller |
| Becki Newton | Lorna |
| Jazz Raycole | Izzy |
| Angus Sampson | Cisco |
| Yaya DaCosta | Andrea Freeman |
One cast member who may not return for the third season is Neve Campbell, who plays Maggie McPherson, Mickey’s first ex-wife and a district attorney, who often clashes with him over their cases and their daughter. Campbell’s role was reduced in the second season, and since the third season will be based on the fifth book in the series, The Gods of Guilt, which does not feature Maggie at all, it is likely that she will not appear in the upcoming episodes. However, some sources have reported that she may still make occasional appearances in the series.
Plot
The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 will be adapted from the fifth book in the series, The Gods of Guilt, which follows Mickey as he takes on a murder case that involves his former client, a digital pimp accused of killing a prostitute. As Mickey investigates the case, he discovers a web of corruption and conspiracy that puts him and his team in danger and forces him to confront his past and his personal demons.
The official synopsis of the book reads:
“Mickey Haller gets the text, ‘Call me ASAP – 187,’ and the California penal code for murder immediately gets his attention. Murder cases have the highest stakes and the biggest paydays, and they always mean Haller has to be at the top of his game.
When Mickey learns that the victim was his own former client, a prostitute he thought he had rescued and put on the straight and narrow path, he knows he is on the hook for this one. He soon finds out that she was back in LA and back in life. Far from saving her, Mickey may have been the one who put her in danger.
Haunted by the ghosts of his past, Mickey must work tirelessly and bring all his skill to bear on a case that could mean his ultimate redemption or proof of his ultimate guilt.”
