Netflix has announced the fourth season of “The Lincoln Lawyer,” featuring significant cast changes and a plot that promises high-stakes legal drama. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo will reprise his role as Mickey Haller, with Neve Campbell taking on a full-time position as his ex-wife Maggie McPherson.
The upcoming season will adapt Michael Connelly’s novel “The Law of Innocence,” marking a new chapter for the popular legal series. Actress Yaya DaCosta will not return after her character’s storyline concluded in the previous season.
Showrunner Ted Humphrey highlighted the importance of Maggie’s character, describing her as Haller’s “northern star.” Campbell will appear in all ten episodes, potentially rekindling the complex relationship between her character and Haller.
The new season centers on Haller’s most challenging case yet. He will defend himself against murder charges involving a former client, Sam Scales. This plot development deviates from the book’s original COVID-19 pandemic storyline while maintaining the core legal thriller elements.
Jazz Raycole will also return as Izzy Letts, providing continuity for fans of the series. The casting changes represent a significant shift in the show’s dynamic, potentially setting up new narrative opportunities.
Fans can look forward to the fourth season, which promises to explore the intricate legal and personal challenges of Mickey Haller’s world.
