Netflix has renewed its legal drama “The Lincoln Lawyer” for a fifth season, the order coming in just ahead of the show’s fourth season launch on February 5th.
The ten-episode fifth season will be based on Michael Connelly’s seventh Mickey Haller book “Resurrection Walk” and is slated to begin filming in March.
Eight books are in the series – the first adapted into the Matthew McConaughey-led film, while the second, fourth, fifth and sixth have been translated into the Netflix series. Only the third, “The Reversal,” and last year’s “The Proving Ground” have. yet to be adapted.
Co-showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez say in a statement:
“We’re so excited to share the upcoming fourth season with the audience on February 5th, and even more excited to share the news that we’re already hard at work on the next one. Season Four is the most challenging and intensely personal journey we’ve taken Mickey Haller on yet, and we’re thrilled and grateful to be able to continue the ride in Season Five.”
Manuel Garcia Rulfo, Neve Campbell, Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, Angus Sampson and Cobie Smulders star in the fourth season, based on the novel “The Law of Innocence,” which releases in full next week on Netflix.
David E. Kelley created the series and serves as one of its executive producers. Netflix has indicated the series has pulled in 171 million views across its three seasons to date and collectively spent 26 weeks in the Netflix global top 10 chart.
