The highly anticipated fourth season of “The Lincoln Lawyer” has officially premiered on Netflix today, February 5, 2026. This new season sees lead character Mickey Haller fighting for his own freedom. The legal drama continues its run with a season based on Michael Connelly’s novel, “The Law of Innocence”.
Haller Faces His Own Trial
The dramatic cliffhanger from Season 3 led directly to this new chapter. Mickey Haller was pulled over by police. They discovered the body of former client Sam Scales in his Lincoln’s trunk. Consequently, Mickey faces murder charges. He must prove his innocence to clear his name. This case becomes Mickey’s most personal and challenging yet. He is defending himself while also being the client. The weight of this fight for freedom is immense.
Key Players and New Challenges
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo reprises his role as the titular lawyer, Mickey Haller. He leads a dedicated team. His ex-wives, Maggie McPherson (Neve Campbell) and Lorna Crane (Becki Newton), are crucial allies. Lorna, in particular, juggles multiple cases for the practice. Izzy Letts (Jazz Raycole) and investigator Cisco Wojciechowski (Angus Sampson) also provide support. New faces join the fray. Constance Zimmer plays prosecutor Dana Berg. Berg is known as “Death Row Dana” for her tough tactics. Her past connection to Maggie adds complexity. Other notable guest stars include Kyle Richards, Scott Lawrence, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Jason O’Mara, and Javon Johnson.
Background of the Series
“The Lincoln Lawyer” is adapted from Michael Connelly’s bestselling book series. The show captures a blend of crime, mystery, and legal drama. It offers a unique perspective from the defense attorney’s side. This contrasts with many shows focusing on prosecution. The series is known for its engaging plot.
