Hit series The Lincoln Lawyer is back with season 4, in which Mickey isn’t defending a client. This time around, he’s defending himself.
The premise seems to appeal to fans of the series. The Lincoln Lawyer is currently the second most-watched show on Netflix, with 9 million views over the last week. It also made the top 10 in 79 countries where the service is available. Does that mean we’ll get to see Mickey again?
The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5 Release Date
Good news: The Lincoln Lawyer season 5 is definitely happening. Netflix renewed the series ahead of the season 4 premiere, choosing not to let fans simmer.
“We’re so excited to share the upcoming season with the audience on Feb. 5, and even more excited to share the news that we’re already hard at work on the next one,” the team behind the show said.
Given that work on the next season is in progress, we’re guessing new episodes could arrive in early-to-mid 2027.

What Could Happen in The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5?
Based on the books by Michael Connelly, The Lincoln Lawyer centres on Mickey, an unconventional defense attorney who operates out of the back of his Lincoln Navigator.
After rebuilding his career post-addiction, Mickey takes on high-stakes criminal cases. The show follows him as he juggles dangerous clients, systemic corruption, and complicated ties to ex-wives Maggie, a prosecutor, and Lorna, his legal assistant turned lawyer.
Season 3 ended with a body found in Mickey’s car, setting him up for murder charges. Obviously, season 4 follows him as he defends himself, with his inner circle basically acting as his law firm in action.
We won’t give away major spoilers, but suffice to say that Mickey’s name is cleared by the time the finale wraps up. The show still delivers a cliffhanger with the introduction of a new character who will probably play a big role in the show’s upcoming episodes.
According to Netflix, The Lincoln Lawyer season 5 will be inspired by the seventh book in the series, Resurrection Walk. Not only that, but introducing this new character will be the show’s way to explore the Harry Bosch–Mickey Haller crossover from the books in a unique way.
