The recess is almost over! The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 is coming and Netflix released all-new promotional images for the season that intrigue us more than ever. Read on to find out more! Ready?
Here we go!
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo returns as Mickey Haller in the legal drama with 10 new episodes based on The Gods of Guilt, the fifth book in The Lincoln Lawyer series by Michael Connelly. (Showrunners Dailyn Rodriguez and Ted Humphrey agree it may also be Connelly’s best book of that era.)
The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 will hit close to home. In the final moments of Season 2, Mickey learns that his friend Glory Days (Fiona Rene), with whom he previously worked on Season 1’s Jesus Menendez case, is dead.
“This season is very exciting,” Garcia-Rulfo tells Tudum. “We see Mickey struggling with so many things at the same time — with romance, with the wives, with the cases. You never expect what’s going to happen, who’s going to be bad and who’s going to be guilty.”
“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,” says Rodriguez. “Mickey very much is [wondering], ‘Did he have something to do with this? Could he have done more to help her?’”
Executive producer Ross Fineman told Tudum the case is going to be Mickey’s toughest, both professionally and personally. “This was his friend,” he said, “and there’s a nagging sense that he might have been responsible in some way.”
Mickey has a new singular focus after Glory’s death. He has become a “man on fire” says Rodriguez. “We’re past the broken Mickey from Season 1 that has to get his sea legs again. In Season 2 — we liked to call that the Icarus season — he got all the fame and fortune, [he] really flew a little high to the sun and got burned a little bit. [Now he’s] a man on a mission, much more than the other two seasons.”
Also we already know that The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 welcomes four new cast members:
Merrin Dungey stars as Judge Regina Turner, a former public defender who’s younger and more progressive than most judges in the district — but whether that’s a benefit to Mickey or not remains to be seen.
Allyn Moriyon makes his television debut as Eddie Rojas, a fitness buff (and former babysitter to Mickey’s daughter, Hayley) who’s in need of a very good lawyer. Luckily, Mickey is able to help, and then offers him the opportunity of a lifetime.
John Pirruccello plays William Forsythe, a seemingly nonthreatening prosecutor who Mickey’s excited to go up against. Once the trial starts, however, it’s clear that nothing’s as it seems.
Philip Anthony-Rodriguez takes on the role of Adam Suarez, the chief deputy district attorney, to whom prosecutor Andrea Freeman (Yaya DaCosta) reports and is a force to reckon with.
They’ll star alongside returning cast members Becki Newton (Lorna), Jazz Raycole (Izzy), Angus Sampson (Cisco), and DaCosta (Andrea). Neve Campbell (Maggie), Elliott Gould (Legal Siegel), Krista Warner (Hayley), Fiona Rene (Glory Days), and Devon Graye (Julian La Cosse) will also be back this season.
The series was created for television by David E Kelley and was developed for television by Ted Humphrey, who serves as co-showrunner alongside Dailyn Rodriguez. Connelly is an executive producer and writer on the series. Ross Fineman and Kelley are also executive producers. The series is produced by A+E Studios and Barry Jossen and Tana Jamieson serve as executive producers.
The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 will premiere on October 17 only on Netflix.
