While the production is reportedly scheduled from early March to around July 2026 (about 130 days of filming).

Netflix typically drops all episodes at once rather than splitting them.<\/p>\n<h2>The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5: Cast<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>Returning main cast:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul dir=\"auto\">\n<li><strong>Manuel Garcia-Rulfo<\/strong> as Mickey Haller, the charismatic defense attorney who works from the back of his Lincoln Navigator.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Becki Newton<\/strong> as Lorna Crane.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jazz Raycole<\/strong> as Izzy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Angus Sampson<\/strong> as Cisco Wojciechowski.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>Cobie Smulders<\/strong> (who appeared in the Season 4 finale) has been promoted to a <strong>series regular<\/strong> as Emi (Artemisia) Finch, Mickey\u2019s previously unknown half-sister.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>Recurring\/guest stars returning:<\/strong> Neve Campbell, Krista Warner, Angelica Maria, and Gigi Zumbado.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>New recurring cast additions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul dir=\"auto\">\n<li>Chris Diamantopoulos as Frank Silver<\/li>\n<li>Corbin Bernsen as Richard Finch<\/li>\n<li>Diane Guerrero as Natalia<\/li>\n<li>Iker Garcia as Rafa Wagner<\/li>\n<li>Patty Guggenheim as Allison Finch<\/li>\n<li>Richard Cabral as Benny Perez<\/li>\n<li>Steve Howey as Brian Cunningham<\/li>\n<li>Teresa Maria as Tina Perez<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"auto\">The ensemble focuses on family ties, team dynamics, and high-stakes legal battles.<\/p>\n<h2>The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5: Plot details<\/h2>\n<p>The Netflix Synopsis states that Mickey Haller is thrown out of his normal world when his Sister Emi (Cobie Smulders) shows up needing his assistance for a wrongfully convicted woman. This season will explore blood relationships along with deep-rooted family secrets through Mickey\u2019s journey obtaining a habeas petition to vacate a 6-year-old murder conviction. As Mickey investigates the case, he will face the increasing threats of those who oppose him. At the same time, Mickey\u2019s crew (Lorna, Izzy, Cisco) will have their own high-profile hurdles to deal with.<\/p>\n<p>The storyline for Season 4 is based on Michael Connelly\u2019s 7th Mickey Haller novel, Resurrection Walk (2023), while allowing the show to creatively modify the story (i.e., Emi was included as a new character not found in the books). There will be plenty of Trials with a lot of personal drama due to hidden family secrets, along with conspiracies.<\/p>\n<p>Season 4 ended with a cliffhanger that set up Emi\u2019s arrival, and links back to the theme, generating excitement for Mickey\u2019s next chapter of his intense personal\/professional journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netflix confirmed they will be producing season 5 of The Lincoln Lawyer and received a 10-episode commitment from Netflix at\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":395,"featured_media":116001,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[35955],"class_list":["post-116000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ott","tag-the-lincoln-lawyer-season-5"],"reading_time":"3 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/395"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116000"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116000\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":116002,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116000\/revisions\/116002"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
