Netflix's legal drama The Lincoln Lawyer has been dubbed "addictive" by viewers who say it is so good they ended up watching all four seasons in one go. The show, which stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, has been renewed for a fifth and final season, set to premiere in 2027.
Fans have taken to Reddit to share their enthusiasm. One user, seeking winter binge recommendations, was told: "The Lincoln lawyer. I didn't think I would like but I'm hooked and the final season airs soon. So you can binge the whole thing if you end up liking it." Another admitted: "I seriously turned it on for background noise. I always need sound in the house to function so it helps to have dumb TV on. I lost 6 hours on the couch the first day. I'm pretty sure the first hour I was holding onto my broom the whole time."
Plot and Cast
The four-season series follows Mickey Haller, a charismatic defence attorney from Los Angeles, US, who runs his practice from the backseat of his chauffeur-driven Lincoln. Haller, a recovering addict, is drawn back into action after inheriting the cases of a murdered colleague, including that of Trevor Elliott, a billionaire video game designer accused of killing his wife and her lover.
Based on Michael Connelly's bestselling novels, the show stars Neve Campbell as Maggie McPherson, a criminal prosecutor and Haller's first ex-wife; Becki Newton as Lorna Crane, his second ex-wife and legal aide; and Jazz Raycole as Izzy Letts, a former client hired as his driver.
Release and Renewal
The first season premiered on May 13, 2022, with the fourth released on February 5, 2026. Netflix renewed the series for a fifth and final season earlier this year, with a premiere scheduled for 2027. All four seasons are available to stream on Netflix UK.
