BEYOND THE REARVIEW MIRROR: EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE LINCOLN LAWYER SEASON 4!

The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 will bring yet another big trial — and this time, Mickey Haller is the defendant.

In January 2025, Netflix announced on X that the hit series — starring Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, Angus Sampson and Neve Campbell — had been renewed for a fourth season.

It’s good news for fans who have already watched the shocking final moments of The Lincoln Lawyer season 3, where a seemingly routine traffic stop goes sideways for the show’s leading man.

“This is going to be the biggest and most personal challenge Mickey has ever faced, and also the biggest roller coaster we’ve yet taken our audience on,” co-showrunner Ted Humphrey told Tudum about the next installment.

Here’s everything to know about The Lincoln Lawyer season 4, including plot teasers and cast updates.

Warning: The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 spoilers ahead!

What will The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 be about?

Season 3 of The Lincoln Lawyer ended with what Humphrey described to TV Insider as a “curve ball.”

After Mickey wins the Julian La Cosse (Devon Graye) case, he’s pulled over by a Los Angeles police officer while driving his beloved powder-blue Lincoln Continental.

The officer informs him that his license plate is missing and discovers a suspicious liquid dripping from the trunk. With that, Mickey is handcuffed, and the situation only escalates when the officer pops open the compartment to find con man Sam Scales (Christopher Thornton) shot dead inside.

“Talk about a cliffhanger!” Garcia-Rulfo told Tudum. “You’re expecting the season to end with Mickey saying goodbye to his friends and driving off and then — boom. It’s a dead body in the trunk.”

Official plot details for The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 have yet to be released. However, Humphrey told Tudum that Mickey’s fate “certainly plays out across the whole season in the form of his trial.”

He also teased that the season 4 premiere will provide viewers with the “broad strokes of what specifically has happened and what charges — and adversaries — Mickey is facing.”

Which cast members are returning for The Lincoln Lawyer season 4?

Fan favorite Manuel Garcia-Rulfo will reprise his role as Mickey Haller in season 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer.

The actor will be joined by series regulars Becki Newton as Lorna Crane, Jazz Raycole as Izzy Letts, Angus Sampson as Cisco Wojciechowski and Neve Campbell as Maggie McPherson.

So far, a few newcomers have been named. Constance Zimmer will play Dana Berg, also known as “Death Row Dana,” a ruthless prosecutor and a colleague of Maggie’s from her days in the L.A. district attorney’s office, per Deadline.

In May 2025, Tudum revealed Zimmer would be on the show for a 10-episode arc, as well as several other stars who have joined the series for its fourth season.

Kyle Richards will appear as Celeste Baker, a Beverly Hills woman looking for a divorce lawyer, while Scott Lawrence will play former prosecutor Judge Stone. Other stars confirmed to appear are Jason Butler Harner, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Jason O’Mara and Javon Johnson.

Celebrity chef Nancy Silverton will also make a cameo as herself.

When does The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 begin filming?

Netflix confirmed that production began on The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 in Los Angeles in May 2025.

When will The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 premiere?

A release date for The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 has not been announced, but according to Tudum, filming is already underway in L.A.

“I shot our first scene with Constance in court, and it was fantastic!” Humphrey told the outlet.

What is The Lincoln Lawyer based on?

Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer is based on a book series by New York Times best-selling author Michael Connelly.

The character Mickey Haller, while fictional, was inspired by two real-life lawyers: the late David Ogden, who was known for working out of his Lincoln, and Florida-based attorney Dan Daly.

The written work was later turned into the 2011 movie of the same name, starring Matthew McConaughey.

Season 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer, consisting of 10 episodes, will be based on the sixth book in Connelly’s series, The Law of Innocence, according to Tudum.

Where can I watch The Lincoln Lawyer?

All three seasons of The Lincoln Lawyer are available to stream on Netflix.
