Neve Campbell’s Maggie hasn’t been a series regular since The Lincoln Lawyer season 1, and her role has gotten smaller over time. She only appeared intermittently in season 2. Maggie’s role got even smaller in season 3, where she only appeared in 2 episodes – one of which consisted of flashbacks. Luckily for fans of the whip-smart prosecutor, Maggie will appear in all 10 episodes of The Lincoln Lawyer season 4.

Because Mickey is going on trial, as set up at the end of The Lincoln Lawyer season 3, Maggie’s return was expected, but her showing up in every episode is a happy surprise. For many viewers, Neve Campbell drew them into the show, so her return will be welcome. The warm dynamic between Mickey and Maggie will also feel like a great return to form. Whether they’re friends, co-parents, or lovers, Maggie is Mickey’s rock, which he’ll need as he faces his biggest trial yet.

The pair could also further their romance throughout The Lincoln Lawyer season 4, as they rekindle their romance in the book before going into COVID-19 lockdown. Although they’ll undoubtedly leave out the pandemic part of the story, the rest could hold true.
