The Lincoln Lawyer to End with Fifth and Final Season on Netflix

Netflix announced that Season 5 will be the last installment of “The Lincoln Lawyer.” Production is underway in Los Angeles on a ten-episode arc adapted from Michael Connelly’s seventh novel, *Resurrection Walk*. The plot follows defense attorney Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) as his newly discovered half-sister Emi (Cobie Smulders) asks him to free a woman wrongfully convicted of a six-year-old murder. Haller also files a habeas petition, while his team—Lorna (Becki Newton), Izzy (Jazz Raycole) and Cisco (Angus Sampson)—faces high-profile challenges.
