The Lincoln Lawyer, Netflix's popular serialized legal drama starring Manuel Garcia Rulfo, is officially coming to an end. The show's upcoming fifth season, which is currently filming in Los Angeles, will be its last.
Series developer/co-showrunner/executive producer Tod Humphrey and co-showrunner/executive producer Dailyn Rodriguez addressed the decision in a joint statement, stating that "all good things must come to an end, but thankfully sometimes how they come to an end is up to us." They went on to assure fans they "will provide the satisfying finale Mickey Haller deserves."
The forthcoming season will mark the end of an impressive run on the streamer. The series, once dormant after being dropped by CBS six weeks into the pandemic, was resurrected by Netflix, where it garnered a loyal fan base, many of whom will be sad to see it go.
Cast members joining the final season of The Lincoln Lawyer as recurring are Nate Corddry, Tricia Helfer, Amy Aquino, Angela Trimbur, Elpidia Carillo, and Keir O'Donnell.
They join previously announced new recurring guest stars Chris Diamantopoulos, Corbin Bernsen, Diane Guerrero, Iker Garcia, Patty Guggenheim, Richard Cabral, Steve Howey, and Teresa Maria.
Both sets of new actors join series regulars Rulfo, Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, Angus Sampson, and Cobie Smulders, as well as returning recurring guest stars Neve Campbell, Krista Warner, Angelica Maria, and Gigi Zumbado.
The fifth season is inspired by "Resurrection Walk," the seventh book in Michael Connelly's The Lincoln Lawyer series. While production is currently underway in Los Angeles, fans will have to wait for Netflix to announce an official release date.
