Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) is back, and this time it’s deeply personal. Season 3 of The Lincoln Lawyer delves into the emotional aftermath of the murder of Haller’s former client, Glory Days/Gloria Dayton (Fiona Rene). “This one is personal because it’s a client that he actually really cared about and thought she had gotten out of that life and out of danger,” co-showrunner Dailyn Rodriguez explained in a recent interview with Netflix’s Tudum. Haller grapples with his conscience, questioning whether he could have done more to help her.
The newly released trailer hints at a web of danger surrounding Gloria’s death, revealing Haller’s struggles as he seeks justice while dealing with the accused murderer, Julian La Cosse (Devon Graye). The season kicks off following the shocking cliffhanger from Season 2, which ended with Haller learning of Gloria’s tragic fate.
As Haller investigates, he faces a potential conspiracy that may be framing La Cosse. The trailer showcases intense courtroom scenes, unexpected confrontations, and threats from an ex-cop with a vendetta against Haller, amplifying the stakes in this gripping narrative. Watch the trailer below.
The upcoming season, set to premiere on October 17, 2024, will adapt Michael Connelly’s The Gods of Guilt, the fifth installment in the bestselling series. Haller, the unconventional defense attorney who operates from the backseat of his Lincoln, takes on some of his toughest challenges yet.
Returning alongside Garcia-Rulfo are familiar faces: Becki Newton as Lorna, Jazz Raycole as Izzy, Angus Sampson as Cisco, and Yaya DaCosta as Andrea Freeman. New cast members include Merrin Dungey, Michael Irby, and Wolé Parks, promising to introduce fresh dynamics and intrigue to the storyline. Notably, Neve Campbell will reprise her role as Maggie McPherson, though her appearances may be limited.
Production for Season 3 wrapped in early June 2024, and the series is among the first Netflix Originals to resume filming after the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. With a reported budget of $3 to $5 million per episode, the show maintains its high production values and continues to film in Los Angeles, a crucial element of its narrative.
Following the success of Season 2, which garnered over 235 million hours watched globally, anticipation is high for this new chapter in Haller’s story. Mark your calendars for the return of The Lincoln Lawyer—the courtroom drama is set to captivate audiences once again this October.
