Netflix confirmed The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 as early as January 2025, around three months after the third season wrapped. As of June 18, 2025, series creator Ted Humphrey shared an update on Instagram, saying that they've wrapped up filming of the fourth season, hoping to bring it to fans "very soon."While there is no official release date for season 4 yet, fans are eager for the continuation of Mickey Haller's story. The upcoming season will also feature Haller being tried for murder, a significant plot twist introduced in The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 after he was accused of killing a former client. It will be a high-profile case in LA, teasing more dramatic twists on and off the court.Moreover, The Lincoln Lawyer season 4's murder trial also makes the perfect plot twist to bring one of Michael Connelly's oldest characters, Jack McEvoy. The TV adaptation of Connelly's characters doesn't shy away from creating connected universe, with Harry Bosch's Bosch (Prime Video) characters appearing in The Lincoln Lawyer (Netflix) and vice versa.

McEvoy is one of Michael Connelly's oldest characters, first appearing in the 1996 book, The Poet, which was the author's fifth book.Mickey Haller's story, as well as that of his half-brother Harry Bosch, has already been adapted into the Prime Video series. Renee Ballard from Bosch also got her own show, Ballard, which premiered on Amazon Prime in July. It's high time that McEvoy's character is introduced on TV and gets its time in the spotlight like the others.His introduction in The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 also aligns with Michael Connelly's plans of adapting Fair Warning, the third book in the Jack McEvoy series. In 2020, Deadline reported that Compelling Pictures closed a deal to produce and finance Fair Warning into a potential franchise, with Connelly set to write the screenplay.

The character is based on himself, as he told MovieWeb in July 2025, adding that it would be a "cool pleasure" if a studio approached him to make a show on Jack McEvoy's character.Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 could be the perfect opportunity to introduce McEvoy and gauge the audience's interest in the character. Like Renee Ballard being introduced in Bosch before getting her own show, Netflix could do the same thing by introducing Jack McEvoy in The Lincoln Lawyer before giving him his own show.What is The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 going to be about?The high-profile murder case, where McEvoy's character could make a surprise appearance, will be at the center of the plot in season 4. It will be the most personal and most challenging case for Mickey Haller yet, as he's going to be the client this time. But besides facing the biggest trial of his life, season 4 will also tackle how the trial affects not just Mickey but also his family and business.Co-showrunner and co-executive producer Ted Humphrey told Netflix Tudum that season 4 of the legal drama will also feature some familiar faces and new characters who will crop up along the way, and some of them will help Mickey in his case.Stay tuned for more The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 news and updates as the year progresses.
