We’re on the case of whether or not Mickey Haller and co. are coming back to Netflix.Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mickey Haller, standing in front of a whiteboard and window blinds, in episode 305 of The Lincoln Lawyer.

Netflix’s hit legal drama The Lincoln Lawyer returned for its third season on October 21, 2024, bringing defense attorney Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) and his dedicated law office back to our screens. The show based on Michael Connelly’s mystery-thriller book series has become an underrated cult-loved series over the years for its engrossing cases and nuanced characters (not to mention the fashion inspiration Lorna provides).

Now that season 3’s mystery is all wrapped up—and the show’s biggest cliffhanger so far has been revealed—fans are clamoring for any news of Mickey and the team’s future. Read on for everything we know about The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 so far.

Has ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ been renewed for season 4?

Not yet. As of the week following the return of The Lincoln Lawyer, Netflix hasn’t given any hint toward its future Speaking with TV Insider, co-showrunner Ted Humphrey implied that the streaming service is waiting for viewer numbers to see whether to invest in a fourth season.

“We’re in the hands of the audience,” he told the outlet. “We’re quietly optimistic about it, but obviously, with Netflix, it always depends on how the current season goes. And so I would say to our fans and viewers of the show, if you want a fourth season, which we very much want to bring you a fourth season, then by all means watch and tell your friends.”

Luckily, it’s highly likely that the streamer will give the drama the green light. Season 3 went straight to the top of Netflix’s Top 10 in the U.S. following its October 18 premiere, and the series has found a loyal fanbase since its 2022 debut.

As for when we can expect an announcement, The Lincoln Lawyer previously received its renewals within two months of a season premiere. Season 2 got the green light in June 2022 after the May 2022 series premiere, and season 3 was announced in August 2023 after season 2 part 1 arrived in July.

When will ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ season 4 come out?

The Lincoln Lawyer is one of Netflix’s few series that follows a traditional yearly release schedule, in comparison to series with multi-year hiatuses like Bridgerton, Wednesday, and Stranger Things. Season 3 arrived a bit later than usual, in fall rather than late spring/early summer, so odds are season 4 could be back in November or December 2025.
