The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 release date speculation

Netflix announced season 3 of The Lincoln Lawyer on August 31, 2023. There is no specific release date yet, but we expect it in late 2024.

Peter Friedlander, VP of scripted series for Netflix US and Canada made the announcement in August 2023, saying that The Lincoln Lawyer still tops global Netflix lists. When you put it that way, Mickey Haller was always going to be back for morem though the 2023 Writers Strike will likely cause a delay.

Because of the modest budget and the good performance of the latest episodes (during July 2023, The Lincoln Lawyer season 2 release date earned 8.3 million total views and 35.3 million hours), this is no surprise.

What is The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 about?

The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 plot will adapt the book The Gods of Guilt, which covers the murder of a former client of Mickey’s.

Minor spoilers ahead. The latest book from the show’s source material to be used will be Michael Connelly’s The Gods of Guilt. So far, we’ve seen elements of the book series used from The Brass Verdict, The Fifth Witness, and more. In The Gods of Guilt, Mickey gets a panicked text about a murder. When he learns the victim was a former client, he is haunted by the past and prepares to put all his skills to the test working the case.

The body at the end of season 2’s finale? That’s Glory Days, the former client and sex worker who had been trying to turn her life around. We’re right on track for this adaptation, then.

Is there a The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 trailer?

We don’t think we’ll get a The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 trailer until mid-2024 due to delays after the Hollywood strikes.

Delayed production means delayed trailers, other than this brief announcement video. If you’d like to revisit season 2, though, there are plenty of recaps on YouTube made by creators.
