There are no easy answers in The Evil Lawyer, which takes viewers on a wild ride deep inside Thailand’s justice system. When the courts are broken, unorthodox methods may be imperative to tweak the odds so they’re not stacked against you.
That may be why viewers seem hooked. With 1.7 million views last week, the drama is currently the fifth most-watched show on Netflix. Does that mean a follow-up might be in the cards? Here’s what we know so far.
The Evil Lawyer Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, Netflix hasn’t officially confirmed that there will be a The Evil Lawyer season 2.
Even so, the show isn’t listed as a limited series, and the platform sometimes waits to assess viewership before making a decision. If the powers that be give the green light, new episodes could arrive in summer 2027.

What Is The Evil Lawyer About?
The Evil Lawyer follows Mek, an idealistic young attorney who believes the law exists to protect ordinary people. Unfortunately, his life is shattered when he is framed for the murder of the son of a powerful police chief.
Feeling abandoned by the system he trusted, Mek turns to infamous defense attorney Jittri. She’s known as the “Evil Lawyer” for her willingness to exploit every loophole and bend the rules to win. In exchange for defending him, Jittri demands that Mek work for her. Soon, she pulls him into a morally gray world where justice doesn’t always equal truth.
“We wanted this series to push audiences toward questions with no easy answers — about the justice system, its loopholes, society, and moral boundaries. We want viewers to question what is right and wrong, and why those questions are so difficult, or even impossible, to answer,” director Nottapon Boonprakob said.
As the show progresses, Mek discovers that his case is connected to a much larger network of corruption. By the time the finale wraps up, viewers get answers about Mek’s case, but the story seems far from over. A potential The Evil Lawyer season 2 would pick up from there, delving deeper into the conspiracy.
