Netflix’s ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ Season 3 Set to Premiere on October 17

Netflix‘s hit legal drama series, ‘The Lincoln Lawyer,’ is gearing up for the release of its highly anticipated third season on October 17, 2024. The new season continues the story of Mickey Haller, an unconventional defense lawyer played by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, who runs his law practice out of the back seat of his Lincoln car in Los Angeles.

The third season is based on the fifth book in Michael Connelly‘s ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ series, titled ‘The Gods of Guilt.’ This season promises to be particularly intense, with Mickey taking on a case that is personal and emotionally challenging. He will be defending a client accused of murdering one of his former clients, a scenario that raises questions about his own involvement and whether he could have done more to prevent the tragedy.

The trailer for Season 3, released on September 23, hints at the complexities and dangers that Mickey will face. Co-showrunner Dailyn Rodriguez emphasized the personal stakes for Mickey, stating, “This one is personal, because it’s a client that he actually really cared about and thought she had gotten out of that life and out of danger.”

The new season will see the return of several key cast members, including Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, Angus Sampson, Yaya DaCosta, and Neve Campbell. The trailer also suggests that Mickey’s personal life, including his romantic relationships, will be a significant focus of the season.

Netflix announced the release date on August 21 and accompanied it with a series of first-look photos from the upcoming season, which include glimpses of Mickey back in the courtroom and his personal interactions with other characters.
