Netflix has renewed The Lincoln Lawyer for season 3, and the hit show has many burning questions that they need to answer. The Lincoln Lawyer follows Mickey Haller, a defense lawyer and recovering addict who works out of his Lincoln cars instead of an office – though this concept has shifted slightly in the second season. The show loosely adapts the eponymous book series by Michael Connelly, following one major case and multiple smaller cases each season.

Continuing the established trend, season 2 of The Lincoln Lawyer concluded with multiple open-ended questions and a new mystery. Mickey will have to solve another murder case that hits close to home, and other characters will go through massive changes that could impact the overall plot. Luckily, The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 already got renewed, promising fans answers to these eight burning questions.

9How Did Glory Days End Up Back In Los Angeles?

In the last conversation between Mickey and Glory Days, the latter says she’s going to spend time in Hawaiʻi with her mother, lying low until everything settles. Then, at the end of The Lincoln Lawyer season 2, she’s dead in the morgue. This raises the question of what Glory Days did between these two parts of the show. If she did go to Hawaiʻi, as implied by the postcard Mickey received, something brought her back to Los Angeles. Alternatively, if Glory Days didn’t follow through, this raises the question of who sent the postcard and why she stayed. The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 must fill in the missing timeline.

7Who Killed Glory Days In The Lincoln Lawyer Show?

The Lincoln Lawyer season 2’s ending sets up the biggest and most significant question that season 3 must answer: who killed Glory Days? Glory Days was previously set up for cocaine possession and only got out of prison because Mickey pulled some strings. Then, Russel tried to kill her, but Cisco and the police stopped him. It’s highly likely that her murder was somehow related to these events, but Russell is seemingly behind bars. The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 must connect all the dots, explaining how and why Glory Days died.

6How Will Alex Grant Take Revenge On Mickey?

In The Lincoln Lawyer, Mickey discovers that a suspect in Mitchell Bondurant’s murder named Alex Grant partakes in multiple illegal activities. He also has connections to the Armenian Mob. The lawyer placed unwanted attention on Alex, eliciting his ire. By the end of The Lincoln Lawyer season 2, the mobster seemingly hires someone to go after Mickey, attempting to kill him with a car. Mickey doesn’t get the chance to look into this before learning about Glory Days’ murder; however, it’s unlikely that the story will end there.

The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 will need to continue Alex’s revenge. Alex has immense resources and connections to a mob, so the threat toward Mickey seems high. Additionally, it’s confirmed in the second season that Alex had Bondurant and Kim killed. It appears that the mobster already put a hit on the lawyer. All things considered, season 3 is bound to answer this question with some thrilling scenes.

5Will Mickey Keep Working Out Of His Lincolns?

Season 2 of The Lincoln Lawyer includes a massive change in the series. Mickey stopped working out of his Lincoln cars, taking on an office instead. The showrunner, Ted Humphrey, explains this choice by pointing out the cinematic differences between the two settings. Scenes in the cars feel more claustrophobic, and an office allows more interactions between characters.

Unfortunately, while the change helped with story development and character relationships, it defied the entire concept of the source material and show. Humphrey left the possibility open that Mickey might eventually return to his Lincolns for work, so The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 might clarify this possibility. Hopefully, the show will find the right balance between Mickey working in the office and the Lincolns.

Throughout The Lincoln Lawyer season 2, Mickey and Maggie have a strained relationship, worsened by their work obligations. Maggie eventually comes to the conclusion that their romance will never work because they’ll both always put their work ahead of one another. They also have morals that don’t align, preventing them from seeing eye to eye. After this realization, the pair split up, and Maggie moves to San Diego for a job as the Head of Major Crimes.

Despite this, their chemistry leaves viewers hopeful that Mickey and Maggie will get back together in season 3 or 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer. Even if they don’t get back together in the third season, Maggie will hopefully make another appearance because she shares a daughter, Hayley, with Mickey.

Throughout The Lincoln Lawyer season 2, Mickey takes on Lisa’s legal case, proving her innocence for killing Mr. Bondurant. During this time, Mickey and Lisa develop a strong emotional connection, verging on romantic. However, by the end of the season, he figures out that Lisa killed her ex-husband. He cuts off any potential relationship, bringing up his discovery.

Because Mickey must maintain client-attorney confidentiality, Lorna calls the cops to tip them off about the dead body in Lisa’s garden. If Lisa figures this out, it could put Lorna in danger. Additionally, Lorna and Mickey discuss the possibility that Lisa took actions to anonymously harm Mickey, making him believe Alex was responsible for Mr. Bondurant’s death. It’s possible that this could cause a future confrontation. Taking all these factors into consideration, it’s extremely possible that Lisa will pop back up in The Lincoln Lawyer season 3.
