Here’s some good news for fans of The Lincoln Lawyer: It’s coming back for more! Netflix announced one week before the return for Season 4 that the adaptation of Michael Connelly‘s books starring Manuel Garcia-Rulfo has been renewed.
The streaming service then revealed that production began on Tuesday, March 17. Along with that news came casting for Season 5, including the unsurprising reveal that Cobie Smulders has been upped to a series regular. The Season 4 finale revealed she’s playing a Bosch-like character, having approached Mickey (Garcia-Rulfo) and identified herself as his sister, Emi Finch.
Read on for everything we know so far about The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5, from the premiere date to the cast to which book it will be adapting.
When will The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5 premiere?
It’s too soon to tell. Season 1 premiered on May 13, 2022. Season 2 was released in two parts, on July 6, 2023, and August 3, 2023. Season 3 dropped on October 17, 2024. And Season 4 premiered on February 5. Like the other four seasons, Season 5 will consist of 10 episodes.
Which book will The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5 adapt?
The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5 will be adapting the seventh book in Michael Connelly’s The Lincoln Lawyer series, Resurrection Walk. The synopsis reads as follows:
“Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller enlists the help of his half-brother, Harry Bosch, to prove the innocence of a woman convicted of killing her ex-husband.
Defense attorney Mickey Haller is back, taking the long-shot cases, where the chances of winning are one in a million. After getting a wrongfully convicted man out of prison, he is inundated with pleas from incarcerated people claiming innocence. He enlists his half-brother, retired LAPD Detective Harry Bosch, to weed through the letters, knowing most claims will be false.
Bosch pulls a needle from the haystack: a woman in prison for killing her ex-husband, a sheriff’s deputy, but who still maintains her innocence. Bosch reviews the case and sees elements that don’t add up, and a sheriff’s department intent on bringing quick justice in the killing of one of its own.
Now Haller has an uphill battle in court, a David fighting Goliaths to vindicate his client. The path for both lawyer and investigator is fraught with danger from those who don’t want the case reopened and will stop at nothing to keep the Haller-Bosch dream team from finding the truth.”
What is The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5 about?
Netflix has released the following description: “Mickey Haller’s world is upended when the half-sister he never knew existed, Emi (Cobie Smulders), comes to him with a plea to help free a wrongfully convicted woman. In a season defined by blood ties and buried secrets, Mickey takes on a grueling habeas petition to overturn a six-year-old murder conviction, but the deeper he digs the more nefarious the forces arrayed against him become. Meanwhile, the stakes rise for his trusted team as Lorna (Becki Newton), Izzy (Jazz Rayburn), and Cisco (Angus Sampson) step up to tackle high-profile challenges of their own. Having just saved himself from a wrongful conviction in Season 4, Mickey is now determined to set right an enormous miscarriage of justice. But as he unravels a dangerous web of corruption and lies, he must grapple with the fractured legacy of his family — both his chosen family and the family he never knew he had.”
