The Netflix legal drama The Lincoln Lawyer, based on Michael Connelly’s bestselling novels, has kept fans on the edge of their seats with its gripping storylines and charismatic lead, Mickey Haller, played by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo. After the shocking cliffhanger in Season 3, fans are eagerly asking: Is The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 releasing in June 2025? Here’s everything we know so far.
The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4: Is It Happening?
Good news for fans—The Lincoln Lawyer has been officially renewed for a fourth season! Netflix confirmed the renewal in January 2025, with production kicking off in February 2025 in Los Angeles. The series, which follows defense attorney Mickey Haller as he navigates high-stakes cases from his Lincoln Navigator, will continue with 10 new episodes.
However, a June 2025 release for Season 4 is highly unlikely. Based on production timelines and Netflix’s release patterns, let’s dive into when we can expect the new season and what it will bring.
The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 Release Date Speculation
While Netflix hasn’t announced an official release date for Season 4, we can estimate based on previous seasons’ production schedules:
-
Season 2: Filming began in October 2022, wrapped in March 2023, and premiered in July 2023 (9 months from filming start).
-
Season 3: Filming started in January 2024, ended in June 2024, and premiered in October 2024 (10 months from filming start).
-
Season 4: Filming began in February 2025 and is expected to wrap by June or July 2025.
Given this pattern, a release 9–10 months after filming starts points to November or December 2025 at the earliest. However, several reports suggest a 2026 release is more likely, as Netflix didn’t include The Lincoln Lawyer in its 2025 slate.
What Will The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 Be About?
Season 4 will adapt The Law of Innocence, the sixth book in Michael Connelly’s Lincoln Lawyer series. The Season 3 finale set up a dramatic premise: Mickey Haller is arrested after police find the body of a former client, Sam Scales, in the trunk of his Lincoln, framing him for murder.
In Season 4, Mickey will face his biggest and most personal challenge yet—defending himself in court. Co-showrunner Ted Humphrey teased that the season will “pick up right where we left off,” diving into the charges and adversaries Mickey faces. Expect a thrilling courtroom drama as Mickey, imprisoned and representing himself, fights to prove his innocence against a conspiracy that may involve new enemies or old foes.
