Despite wrapping everything up nicely, a teaser for a potential second season may leave you wondering if a sequel has been green-lit.
What is The Lincoln Lawyer about?
Mickey Haller is a brilliant defence lawyer who has had a year off thanks to a bad accident and an addiction to pills. When his old colleague Jerry is shot dead in a parking lot, Mickey is surprised to learn Jerry has handed over the keys to his law practice (and all the subsequent cases he was working on) to him. The most notable case here is one involving a hotshot game developer called Trevor Elliott. Accused of killing his wife and her boyfriend, Mickey scrambles to learn all the details of this murder, especially when it’s revealed that those same shadowy forces that killed Jerry could be coming for him too. We do have extensive coverage for The Lincoln Lawyer across the site, including recaps for all episodes and a full season review. Feel free to check those out HERE!
Has The Lincoln Lawyer been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, The Lincoln Lawyer has been renewed for a second season! Given the ending, that’s perhaps hardly surprising. Generally Netflix gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate. With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly (ala. Squid Game, Bridgerton & Irregulars) Other times, it can take months before Netflix make a decision over a show’s future. So far, The Lincoln Lawyer has had a pretty mixed reception from critics but generally favourable from audiences, which would explain why it’s been renewed so quickly.
What we know about season 2 so far:
Barely anything is known about season 2 at this point, given Netflix have only just green-lit a sequel. Expect the story to add more context to Cisco’s deal with the bikers, Lorna’s law school drama and the identity of that shadowy man with the tattoo on his forearm. In the meantime, we’ll have to look forward to when season 2 drops on Netflix in the near future! Would you like to see The Lincoln Lawyer return for a second season?
