Netflix is getting back behind the wheel with Mickey Haller, as it renews The Lincoln Lawyer for Season 3.

Manuel Garcia-Rulfo will return as the iconoclastic idealist who runs his law practice out of the back seat of his Lincoln Town Car, as he takes on cases big and small across the expansive city of Los Angeles. Based on Michael Connelly’s books, the legal drama dropped its second season in July and quickly climbed up the Netflix Global Top 10 charts, with a cumulative 40 million views as of 29th August.

Now, Netflix has ordered a third run of 10 episodes, based on The Gods of Guilt, the fifth book in Connelly’s series.

“The audience response to the show has been so gratifying and wonderful, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to dive back into Michael Connelly’s universe and bring Mickey Haller and his world to the screen again,” said showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez. Also returning alongside Garcia-Rulfo will be Becki Newton as Lorna, Jazz Raycole as Izzy, Angus Sampson as Cisco, and Yaya DaCosta as Andrea Freemann. 

Season 3 will pick up after the news that an old friend of Mickey’s has dird.

“It’s going to be the toughest case he’s ever had, both professionally and personally,” executive producer Ross Fineman. “This was his friend, someone he cared about, and he needs to know what happened to her. And there’s a nagging sense that he might have been responsible in some way.”
