Netflix's legal drama The Lincoln Lawyer will conclude after its upcoming fifth season, showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez have confirmed. The series, which has drawn high viewership across four seasons, is currently filming its final episodes in Los Angeles.
In a joint statement, Humphrey and Rodriguez described the decision as bittersweet but emphasised their commitment to delivering a satisfying conclusion. 'All good things must come to an end, but thankfully, sometimes how they come to an end is up to us,' they said. 'From the very beginning, the mission was always to tell the story of Mickey Haller and his compatriots, and to give that story a proper conclusion.'
The fifth season will adapt Michael Connelly's seventh novel in the series, Resurrection Walk. New cast members include Nate Corddry, Jimmy Finch, Tricia Helfer, Amy Aquino and Angela Trimbur, joining returning stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, Angus Sampson and Cobie Smulders.
Humphrey hinted at future surprises for the characters, stating on Instagram: 'I am so proud of the show and in the midst of shooting a final season that will give Mickey Haller a proper and satisfying conclusion (for now at least!). And who knows what other surprises the future may hold for these characters?'
Rodriguez also expressed gratitude on social media, writing: 'All good things must come to an end. Very bittersweet news. So happy we got five seasons but sad to say goodbye to Mickey Haller.' The final season will follow Haller as he helps a wrongfully convicted woman, with Smulders' character introducing a new family dynamic.
