In a decision that will surprise nobody, Netflix has banged its gavel and ruled that The Lincoln Lawyer will return for Season 3.
The legal drama has been a global smash-hit for the streamer, setting up shop in the Netflix Top 10 list and refusing to leave for months on end. Ten more episodes will be coming down the pipeline in either late 2024 or early 2025, depending on when the writers' and actors' strikes in Hollywood will end.
Based on the book series by author Michael Connelly, the show follows Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), "an iconoclastic idealist, [who] runs his law practice out of the back seat of his Lincoln, as he takes on cases big and small across the expansive city of Los Angeles."
Becki Newton (Lorna), Jazz Raycole (Izzy), Angus Sampson (Cisco) and Yaya DaCosta (Andrea Freeman) will reprise their roles and join Garcia-Rulfo for Season 3.
Neve Campbell (Maggie) will be absent from the series' return, however. Her character's role had a significant reduction in screen time from season 1 to season 2, the latter of which concluded with her moving to a different city for a new job. But fans of Haller's prosecutor ex have reason to hold out hope: sources say the character may return to the series at some point in the future.
"We're thrilled to bring back The Lincoln Lawyer for a third season," said Peter Friedlander, vp scripted series, Netflix U.S. and Canada. "Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez have taken us deeper into Mickey Haller's world, building out characters and stories that have connected with our global audience, and we look forward to seeing what they have in store for everyone's favorite lawyer. The show continues to top our global lists and it's a testament to the work from a creative powerhouse team including Michael Connelly, David E. Kelly, Ross Fineman and our partners at A+E Studios."
