Fans of Netflix’s gripping legal drama The Lincoln Lawyer are counting down the days until the highly anticipated Season 4 premieres on February 5, 2026. After the jaw-dropping cliffhanger in Season 3 – where iconic defense attorney Mickey Haller was pulled over and arrested after police discovered a body in the trunk of his signature Lincoln – the stakes have never been higher. This time, the tables are turned: Mickey isn’t defending a client; he’s fighting for his own freedom in a murder trial that could destroy everything he’s built.
Adapted from Michael Connelly’s bestselling novel The Law of Innocence, the sixth book in the Mickey Haller series, Season 4 plunges the charismatic LA lawyer into his most personal and perilous case yet. Mickey (played by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) stands accused of murdering former client Sam Scales, a notorious con artist whose shady dealings have come back to haunt him in the worst way. Framed in a elaborate setup, Mickey must rely on his sharp instincts and loyal team to unravel the conspiracy from behind bars, battling not just the prosecution but also powerful forces like the DA’s office and the FBI.
The season promises the signature blend of high-octane courtroom drama, unexpected twists, and emotional depth that has made the show a Netflix standout. Viewers can expect intense legal maneuvers, fierce cross-examinations, and revelations that dig into Mickey’s past, testing his relationships and resolve like never before. His team steps up in unprecedented ways: Lorna (Becki Newton) takes on more responsibility as a newly minted lawyer, handling cases while supporting Mickey; Cisco (Angus Sampson) dives deep into investigations; and driver Izzy (Jazz Raycole) provides crucial backing. Mickey’s ex-wife Maggie McPherson (Neve Campbell), now a series regular, plays a pivotal role, adding layers of family tension and support amid the chaos.
New cast additions bring fresh intensity to the courtroom battles. Constance Zimmer joins as a formidable prosecutor, while other guest stars heighten the suspense. The 10-episode season explores themes of justice, innocence, and the fragility of reputation in the legal world, delivering heart-pounding surprises that keep audiences guessing until the final verdict.
Since its debut, The Lincoln Lawyer has captivated millions with its smart storytelling and Garcia-Rulfo’s magnetic portrayal of Haller – a defense attorney who operates from the back of his Lincoln Navigator, taking on impossible cases with unwavering determination. Seasons 1 through 3 have built a devoted fanbase through intricate plots, moral dilemmas, and unforgettable characters, consistently ranking high on Netflix charts.
As Mickey confronts ghosts from his past and fights to clear his name, Season 4 is poised to be the most thrilling installment yet – a rollercoaster of suspense, humor, and heartbreak. Prepare for masterful legal showdowns and shocking revelations that could redefine Haller’s legacy. Mark your calendars: the Lincoln is rolling back onto screens soon, and this ride promises to be unforgettable.
