Production has officially kicked off on Season five of ‘The Lincoln Lawyer‘ at Netflix, keeping the streamer’s hit legal drama in session for another high-stakes run. According to Deadline, cameras are rolling on the new season as Mickey Haller takes on a fresh case that pushes him deeper into Los Angeles’ legal and moral gray areas.

Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (Sicario: Day of the Soldado, Murder on the Orient Express) is set to return as defense attorney Mickey Haller, continuing his run as the charismatic lawyer who works out of the backseat of his Lincoln. As noted by Deadline, the new episodes will again balance courtroom maneuvering with the messy personal relationships that keep Haller off-balance outside of court.

The upcoming season will once more draw from Michael Connelly’s bestselling book series, with the creative team using another of the author’s novels as the spine for Season five’s central mystery. Deadline reports that the new storyline centers on a headline-grabbing client whose case forces Haller to question how far he is willing to go to win.

Key members of the ensemble are expected to return alongside Garcia-Rulfo, including Neve Campbell (Scream, Party of Five) and Becki Newton (Ugly Betty, How I Met Your Mother), keeping the show’s mix of legal tension and interpersonal drama intact. According to Deadline, Season five will also introduce new recurring characters tied to both the case and Haller’s personal life, expanding the show’s Los Angeles legal universe.

Behind the camera, the series continues under the banner of its established executive producers, who have steered the adaptation since its first season on Netflix. As highlighted by Deadline, the creative team is aiming to build on the show’s momentum as one of the streamer’s reliable genre performers.

‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ has become a steady presence in Netflix’s lineup, offering a character-driven spin on the legal procedural format. With Season five now in production, viewers can expect more intricate cases, complicated loyalties and the signature backseat strategy sessions that have defined Mickey Haller’s ride so far, per Deadline.
