The Lincoln Lawyer is officially returning to Netflix in early 2026. Following a nail-biting Season 3 finale, Mickey Haller is back, but this time, he’s no longer a lawyer. He’s the defendant. From the confirmed February release date to all the new first-look images, here’s your big update on the future of The Lincoln Lawyer.
Netflix has officially confirmed that The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 will premiere on February 5, 2026. This confirms our prior reporting that the series was aiming for an early 2026 return. The new season will consist of 10 episodes.
If you watched the finale of Season 3, you know the stakes have never been higher. Season 4 adapts Michael Connelly’s sixth book in the series, The Law of Innocence.
In a statement today, co-showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez said:
“We are absolutely thrilled to share Season 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer with the world. Following the incredibly suspenseful and emotional climax of Season 3, this new chapter confronts Mickey Haller with the toughest and most personal challenge of his life, and the biggest roller coaster we’ve ever taken our audience on. The stakes have never been higher, because this time Mickey is the client. With his very life and reputation on the line, he’ll need the strength and support of his entire team, and his entire family, to fight for his future.
Inspired by Michael Connelly’s bestselling novel The Law of Innocence, the season is packed with his signature twists, along with the unique blend of suspense, humor and heart our fans love, as every character must confront not only Mickey’s predicament but their own personal challenges along the way.
It was a joy bringing this season to life, and we cannot wait for the audience to dive in!”

Season 3 (based on The Gods of Guilt) saw Mickey defending Julian La Cosse, who was wrongfully accused of murdering Gloria Dayton, aka Glory Days. Mickey uncovered a massive corruption conspiracy involving DEA Agent James De Marco and investigator Neil Bishop. While Mickey won the case (and a massive settlement for Julian), the victory was bittersweet. In the final moments, while driving his signature Lincoln, Mickey was pulled over by police who found the body of Sam Scales in his trunk. Season 4 will answer the biggest question of all: Who framed Mickey Haller?
Filming on the new season kicked off in February of this year and wrapped by the Summer. We’ve also had episode titles previewing what’s to come.
