The Lincoln Lawyer season 2 casts Lana Parrilla in recurring role (here who she’s playing)
Where are all my Once Upon a Time fans at? The Evil Queen will finally make her Netflix debut in The Lincoln Lawyer season 2! Yes, you read that right. Lana Parrilla has joined the second season of the popular legal drama series in a recurring role. Read on to find out more about her casting.
The Lincoln Lawyer was created by David E. Kelley and developed by Ted Humphrey. It premiered on Netflix in May 2022, and a month later, it was renewed for a second installment, which is expected to come out sometime in 2023.
The first season was based on the 2008 book The Brass Verdict by Michael Connelly, which is a part of The Lincoln Lawyer book series. The Lincoln Lawyer season 2 will be based on the fourth book in The Lincoln Lawyer book series called The Fifth Witness.
We can’t wait to see the return of Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, playing the role of criminal-defense lawyer Mickey Haller. We also expect to see the return of Neve Campbell (Maggie), Becki Newton (Lorna), Jazz Raycole (Izzy), Angus Sampson (Cisco), and Krista Warner (Hayley). But who will newcomer Lana Parrilla be playing in the second season?
Who is Lana Parrilla playing in The Lincoln Lawyer season 2?
According to Deadline, Lana Parrilla will be portraying the recurring role of Lisa Trammell. Lisa is described as “a beloved chef and community advocate struggling to keep her restaurant afloat as a predatory real estate developer threatens the neighborhood around her.”
The character Lisa Trammell is a far cry from the other characters Lana has played in the past, like the Evil Queen in Once Upon a Time and Rita Castillo in Why Women Kill. It’ll be interesting to see Lana take on this new role, and we can’t wait to see her back on our screens!
The Lincoln Lawyer season 2 release updates
As reported by What’s on Netflix, production is slated to kick off on Oct. 31, 2022, in Los Angeles, California and is expected to wrap on March 23, 2023. After production wraps, the new episodes should immediately enter post-production, where they will be edited to perfection.
With this schedule, we could be looking at a release in the late summer of 2023. However, a fall 2023 release looks more likely. For now, expect The Lincoln Lawyer season 2 to arrive on Netflix in late 2023. We’ll definitely share the official release date once Netflix announces it.
