Courtroom drama, morally gray zones, and the irresistible charm of Mickey Haller — The Lincoln Lawyer has all the ingredients that keep viewers coming back for more. Adapted from Michael Connelly’s bestselling novels, the Netflix series has become a favorite among audiences for its blend of legal suspense and smooth-talking charisma. After three gripping seasons that took viewers through shocking cases and personal upheavals, people are naturally asking one question: What is next for the earlier-mentioned defense attorney at the center of it all?

The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 is thankfully confirmed. But will it come out soon, or is there still ambiguity surrounding its release date?

Netflix has not yet confirmed the release date of The Lincoln Lawyer season 4, but CBR suggests the series could return in early 2026. According to the outlet, insiders claim the next chapter of the acclaimed legal drama might arrive on February 5 next year. Netflix officially confirmed the renewal of the series for another season earlier this year. Production commenced shortly after, beginning on February 7 in Los Angeles and concluding by mid-June.

The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 will see the return of Becki Newton as Lorna, Jazz Raycole as Izzy, Angus Sampson as Cisco, Neve Campbell as Maggie McPherson, Elliott Gould as David Siegel, and Krista Warner as Hayley Haller, alongside the leading talent Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mickey Haller. Newcomers for this season include Cobie Smulders in an under-wraps role, Constance Zimmer as Dana Berg, Sasha Alexander as FBI Agent Dawn Ruth, Kyle Richards as Celeste Baker, and more. Amid CBR’s speculative release window, meanwhile, exploring the profiles of some of these newcomers will be worthwhile.

Netflix has added an Emmy nominee and a showbiz veteran to The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 lineup, which will only add more credibility to the already popular franchise.

The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 has expanded its star power with two standout additions. Constance Zimmer, joining the series' cast, is an Emmy nominee, recognized for her compelling performance in UnREAL. Cobie Smulders, meanwhile, is best known for her role in the beloved sitcom How I Met Your Mother and appearances in several acclaimed projects, including her work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Their inclusion promises to elevate Michael Connelly’s world, crafted from two real-life inspirations.

With production wrapped and fresh faces joining Mickey Haller’s circle, The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 is shaping up to be one of the show’s most intense chapters yet. As anticipation builds for its expected 2026 release, all signs point to another gripping courtroom ride packed with high-stakes drama and sharp storytelling.
