Warning: Spoilers for season 3 of The Lincoln Lawyer.

The Lincoln Lawyer officially returned on October 17 with a brand new season. If you’ve already binge-watched all ten episodes of this binge-worthy legal drama, you’re probably wondering what’s next for Mickey Haller after the shocking cliffhanger of the season 3 finale.

The third season, based on The gods of guilt-the fifth book by Michael Connelly The Lincoln Lawyer series in which Manuel Garcia-Rulfo reprises his role as Los Angeles attorney Mickey Haller. This time he investigates the death of his former client and friend, Gloria “Glory Days” Dayton.

Mickey quickly becomes a target for those determined to keep Glory’s killer a secret. His house is broken into and an attempt to run him off the road leads to the tragic death of his driver, Eddie. Mickey believes drug trafficker Hector Moya – whom he and Glory Days previously sent to prison – may be involved in his death. However, Moya suggests that DEA agent James De Marco is someone worth investigating further.

During the trial, Mickey’s client Julian, who is accused of Glory Days’ murder, is attacked in jail and ends up in the hospital. Mickey insists on having former APD detective Neil Bishop testify after discovering that Bishop had been following Glory before her death. Cisco eventually finds footage of Bishop and DEA agent De Marco entering Glory’s house on the day she was murdered.

Who Killed Glory Days?

On the stand, Bishop confesses that De Marco murdered Glory Days to cover up his illegal activities in connection with Moya’s arrest. After his testimony, Bishop pulls out a gun he hid in his sock and kills himself.

De Marco flees the country, and later Mickey and his team receive a photo of a body hanging from a bridge, presumably of De Marco, believed to have been killed by the drug cartel.

Fortunately, Julian survives this whole ordeal, and now that the real killer is exposed, all charges against him are dropped. Mickey also insists that Julian get a substantial settlement after everything he’s been through.

How does it work? The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 ending?

In the season 3 finale, as Mickey leaves a restaurant, he is pulled over by a cop while driving his convertible. When Mickey asks what he did wrong, the officer explains that his license plate is missing, and Mickey gets out of his car.

The officer then sees what appears to be blood dripping from the car and demands Mickey open the trunk. When Mickey refuses, he is arrested. Upon opening the trunk, the police discover the body of Sam Scales, a former client of Mickey and Lorna, inside.

Will there be a fourth season? The Lincoln Lawyer?

Netflix has not yet confirmed a fourth season of the series The Lincoln Lawyer. The streamer will likely wait to see how well season 3 does before deciding to renew the show, just as it did with the third season after season 2 was released.

The series’ showrunners, Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez, recently spoke with TV Insider about what Mickey’s next chapter could look like.

“We always set up some kind of next business of the season. This won’t really form the basis for the next case, but it will certainly form the basis for the next book,” said Rodriguez. Humphrey added: “I think we can say that this season will definitely propel us towards a Season 4 in a very exciting and personal way.”

The good news is that the showrunners are optimistic about the future of the show. They expressed a desire to adapt all the books in Michael Connelly’s series, with Rodriguez teasing that they “might even go further” with additional books that could be added to the series.

“Michael hints he may be working on another one Lincoln Lawyer book that goes beyond the books already published,” Humphrey revealed. “We don’t know for sure. If he is working on it, we would of course like to read it. We have internal plans to adjust the versions of all books.” But both are quick to point out that it depends on the audience. “If the audience continues to enjoy what we do, then we will continue to make the show.”

Their plans also include “an idea of ​​where we would go for a possible season 5 and even 6 beyond that,” Humphrey continued.

Regarding the shocking cliffhanger at the end of season three, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo told Today.com that Mickey has “great people who can help him” if he has to go to trial.

“I think he and Lorna would be a perfect couple to defend him,” he said. He also mentioned Mickey’s first wife, Maggie, and “Even Andy… I mean, he has good people.”
