The Lincoln Lawyer is headed back to court. Netflix announced in a post on X that it had renewed the series for a fourth season. Based on the book series by Michael Connelly, the show has become a breakout hit for the streamer over its first three seasons.

The show will be adapting Connelly’s novel The Law of Innocence for the show’s fourth season, which will consist of 10 episodes. Production is set to start on the new season in February. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo will return as Mickey Haller for the new season alongside Neve Campbell, whose role is expanding after a limited presence in season 3. Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, and and Angus Sampson are all returning as well.

David E. Kelley first created the series back in 2022 and has served as an executive producer on the show ever since. The show’s most recent season debuted in October of 2024, and it has consistently shown up in Netflix’s Top 10 with the release of each new season. It might not have the audience of some of Netflix’s biggest performers, but it also has lower production costs than those major hits. Lincoln Lawyer has a solid fanbase, and it doesn’t look like that support is going anywhere.

The show follows an idealistic lawyer who runs a law practice out of the back of his Lincoln, taking on cases both big and small across the city of Los Angeles. Before it was adapted to the small screen, the novels were adapted into a movie of the same name that starred Matthew McConaughey.

Okay, so you're puffing away on a cigar, feeling good, when life happens. You leave it for a bit, and then bam! You come back to find it has gone out. Happens to the best of us. You look down at this expensive stick, and you wonder if you just blew a chunk of change on something you can't even finish.The thing is, we've all heard those cigar rules, whispered around like secrets: Never let it go out! Or a good cigar burns perfectly to the end! It's like some old tradition passed down.But come on, those rules are bunk! Relighting a cigar isn't some kind of crime. Well, as long as you do it right. And the thought that only inexpensive cigars go out? Total lie. Even the fanciest Cubans sometimes need a little help staying lit; wind, weather, and everything else can affect it.Look, it's not about whether you can relight it. It's about not letting an outdated idea hold you back from getting the most out of what you've paid for. When you buy a good cigar, it’s all about chilling out. So why waste it if it goes out?

The most unforgettable TV character deaths of all time
These characters exited their series with flair and drama
Pedro Pascal in The Last of Us season 2

Sometimes, we're looking for something new to binge, and other times, we want to immerse ourselves in a show we've long loved. Even if TV characters aren't real, we get connected to them like they're members of our family. A superbly written series crafts fictional people that represent something deeper than what's on the screen. We see parts of loved ones in them, we live vicariously through them, and the line between reality and fairytale gets blurred.

Nothing shocks us more than when a beloved member of our TV experience gets whacked. Other times, a villain we can't stand also gets the same treatment. Whether we're happy or sad about a character dying, the response elicited is dynamic. These are the TV character deaths we're still not over.
