He’s defended the guilty.
He’s saved the innocent.
But this time, the lawyer becomes the accused.

Netflix has officially confirmed Season 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer — and it’s about to take everything you thought you knew about Mickey Haller and turn it upside down.

Based on The Law of Innocence, Michael Connelly’s most explosive courtroom thriller yet, this season will push Mickey to the edge — legally, emotionally, and morally.

Where We Left Off: A Body in the Trunk, and a Career on the Line

Season 3 ended with Mickey pulling over his Lincoln… and discovering the unthinkable.

The body of Sam Scales, the career conman who once blackmailed and betrayed him, was stuffed in the trunk.
The blood.
The setup.
The whisper of his name across LAPD radios.

Now Mickey is facing what he’s never truly prepared for:
Being the one on trial.

The Law of Innocence: This Time, It’s Personal

In Season 4, Mickey must build a defense from inside a jail cell.

Disbarred.
Doubted.
Trapped in the same system he’s spent his life outmaneuvering.

But Mickey knows one thing for sure:
He didn’t kill Sam Scales.
So who did — and why frame him?

As the case unravels, The Lincoln Lawyer becomes the hunted.
Enemies from the past resurface.
A dirty cop might be planting evidence.
And someone close to Mickey may be orchestrating the whole thing.

Someone powerful is pulling strings.
Evidence is going missing.
Witnesses are being silenced.

And the closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes — for everyone he loves.

Why Season 4 Might Be the Darkest Chapter Yet

Mickey’s moral code is put to the test: how far will he go to win when the system is rigged?

Lorna faces pressure to take over his caseload — and her mental health begins to crumble

Cisco returns to old biker gang connections, risking everything to expose a setup

Izzy considers crossing the line to save Mickey — even if it costs her sobriety

And Maggie?
She might hold the key to Mickey’s freedom — or be the one to put him away.

Final Verdict: The Game Has Changed

Season 4 isn’t about saving clients.
It’s about saving himself.
And in The Lincoln Lawyer, truth is just one piece of the puzzle.

What matters is what you can prove.
And this time, Mickey Haller might lose everything trying to do it.
