Will there be The Lincoln Lawyer season 4?
Will Mickey Haller be taking on another case?
The third season of The Lincoln Lawyer has come to a dramatic end on Netflix, bringing Mickey and the team's story to a close – for now, at least.
The show based on Michael Connelly's novel series has grown a cult fan base over the years and, naturally, viewers are wondering whether there'll be another instalment on the cards.
Well, the season 3 finale, which was packed full of shocks and surprises, certainly paved the way for a fourth season.
So, will we see more of Mickey and his exploits on Netflix? Read on for everything you need to know about The Lincoln Lawyer season 4.
Has The Lincoln Lawyer been renewed for season 4?
Not yet, but fans will be pleased to hear that co-showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez have made clear that is the intention.
In an interview with TV Insider before season 3 dropped on Netflix, Rodriguez said: "We always set up sort of the next case of the season. This one won’t quite set up the next case, but it will definitely set up the next book."
Meanwhile, Humphrey added: "I think we can say this season will definitely propel us in a very exciting and personal way into a season 4.
"Michael hints that he’s potentially working on another Lincoln Lawyer book beyond the ones that have already been published. We don’t know that for sure. Obviously, if he is working on one, we are very eager to read it.
"We have plans internally for how to adapt versions of all the books. If the audience keeps enjoying what we’re doing, then we will keep making the show... we would go for a potential season 5 and even 6 beyond that."
As fans of the novels will know, there are certainly plenty more stories with Mickey and the gang left to adapt.
The series has so far jumped around Connelly's timeline somewhat, adapting the second, fourth and fifth novels. This leaves four books in which he is the lead character currently unadapted.
The show hasn't officially been renewed by Netflix yet, but fans shouldn't be too worried about that - it wasn't renewed for seasons 2 or 3 until a month after each of their predecessors had aired, suggesting we might hopefully hear something around mid-November 2024.

When would a potential The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 be released?
We don't yet know exactly when The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 would be released, not least because the show hasn't officially been renewed yet.
However, previous seasons of the show have released with pretty efficient frequency, each arriving just over a year after the last.
Given this, we'd imagine that, should the show be renewed and get to filming on season 4 soon, new episodes could be released in November or December 2025.
We will keep this page updated with any more concrete news regarding release dates as we get it.
Who would return to star in a potential The Lincoln Lawyer season 4?
If The Lincoln Lawyer were to a return for a fourth season, then we would certainly expect Manuel Garcia-Rulfo to be back as Mickey Haller, while the likes of Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole and Angus Sampson would also likely return.
Neve Campbell could also be among the cast - at one point it seemed as though she wouldn't be appearing in season 3, but she later did return to the show in a recurring role.
Here's a list of the cast members we expect could be back for a potential Lincoln Lawyer season 4:
- Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mickey Haller
- Becki Newton as Lorna Crane
- Jazz Raycole as Izzy Letts
- Angus Sampson as Cisco
- Yaya DaCosta as Andrea Freemann
- Neve Campbell as Maggie McPherson
- Elliott Gould as David Siegel
- Krista Warner as Hayley Haller
