Shocking Courtroom Twist — Netflix finally Confirmed The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4, and the Official Trailer teases a new murder trial that could destroy Mickey Haller’s career. Mark your calendars, the Release Date is closer than you think! 

Fans of The Lincoln Lawyer just got a major update about Season 4. Production wrapped a couple of months ago, and it might be coming sooner than anyone was expecting.

Per What’s on Netflix, titles for all eight episodes of Season 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer have been revealed, as has its potential release date. As of the time of writing, numerous outlets, including IMDb, have The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 listed under an Oct. 16 release date, although there is some speculation that might not be entirely accurate, as that is the same day that other hit series such as The Diplomat are set to return with new episodes.

Insiders have suggested that The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 won’t premiere until February 2026 and might make its way back on Feb. 5. However, fans will have to wait for an official announcement from Netflix before they can start setting aside time on their calendars to tune back in to their favorite show.

Episode titles for The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 did not come with any indication as to what order they might be premiering in, though it has been confirmed which four will comprise the first half of the season. Those include “7211956,” “Baja,” Bleeding the Beast,” and “Forty Hours,” the first of which many speculate is a reference to Mickey Haller’s prisoner identification number or a similar ID based on the fact that the series’ leading character was last seen being arrested after the body of con artist Sam Scales was found in his trunk. The back half of Season 4 will include episodes titled “50/50,” “Confirmation Bias,” “Honor Among Thieves,” and “You’re the One That I Want.”

Based on Michael Connelly’s hit novel series that was previously adapted for the silver screen, The Lincoln Lawyer stars Manuel García-Rulfo as criminal defense attorney Mickey Haller. The first three seasons of The Lincoln Lawyer were based on the novels The Brass Verdict, The Fifth Witness, and The Gods of Guilt, while Season 4 will be based on The Law of Innocence, the sixth novel in the series, which was published in 2020.

The Lincoln Lawyer has received rave reviews from critics and audiences alike throughout its run, with Season 3 garnering a 100% “Fresh” rating via review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, which certainly bodes well for Season 4, thanks to Season 3’s cliffhanger ending that leads into it.

What Fans Can Expect from The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4

Back in July, Garcia-Rulfo himself opened up about Season 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer, singing particularly high praises of its overarching narrative while also giving fans plenty to look forward to when it arrives. “It’s the most emotional season — heavy emotion — because of how we found [Mickey],” García-Rulfo stated at the time. Season 3 finale ended with a cliffhanger as Mickey was taken in handcuffs after police discovered Sam Scales’ body in Mickey’s Lincoln’s truck. Season 4 is set to become the defense lawyer’s biggest and most personal challenge as he tries to prove his innocence.

“I told the showrunners — even reading them before we started shooting. [This season] is the one that I’ve enjoyed the most. I’ve enjoyed all of them, but this one is the one that I’ve enjoyed the most because it has the most heaviness.”

The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 is not officially confirmed, but Netflix is likely to confirm the return soon.
