Huge success of Lincoln Lawyer will continue with Season 4

Making a good TV series based on a very successful film, with a different actor in the main role, is often a formidable task that often falls short of the original intention - catching the attention of potential viewers.

Well, not in the case of Netflix’s series version of the Lincoln Lawyer movie (2011), which starred Matthew McConaughey, as its three seasons so far have proved to be a huge audience success, set to continue with season 4.

Not only was actor Manuel Garcia-Rulfo a good fit for the role, but some swift script solutions, a good set of actors, and tricky cliffhangers to every season so far made the series work, and the audiences reacted promptly.

Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 is shaping up to be great

Now, the series based on the novels by Michael Connelly about Los Angeles’  defense attorney who devotes everything to his job is set to face another admirable opponent - prosecutor Dana Berg played by Emmy nominee Constance Zimmer, bearing a nickname “Death Row Dana,” who will even bend the rules to get a guilty verdict. But, will all the questions posed in the Season 3 finale be answered? We have to wait and see.

And there are quite a few open questions hanging in the balance, particularly when the police opened Mickey Holler's car trunk! As the co-executive producer and co-showrunner noted in one interview between the seasons: “As far as what it all means, hopefully, we will be able to show you in Season 4. But clearly, the only thing Mickey could be thinking is ‘WTF?’ ” 

For the potential viewers who are not familiar with the background of Connelly's novels, it is interesting to know that although Mickey Holler is a fictional character, Connelly based his books on a lawyer working out of the back of his car from a real-life person: David Ogden, a Los Angeles attorney who passed away in 2020.

As far as the cast of the new season is concerned, along with Garcia-Rulfo as Haller and Constance Zimmer, most of the main characters will return to Season 4, Becki Newton (Lorna), Jazz Raycole (Izzy), and Angus Sampson (Cisco), as well as Neve Campbell (Maggie McPherson).

The production will start this February 2025, so the official release date for the series is not set yet, but the fans of the series are already on the edge of their seats. Of course, for those viewers who want to refresh their memory, or those who have not seen it yet, it is one of those that squarely fall into that bingeable category.
