“‘WE’RE BACK ON THE ROAD… BUT THIS TIME, NOTHING WILL BE THE SAME’ — THE LINCOLN LAWYER SEASON 5 HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN FILMING!” As cameras start rolling once again in Los Angeles, the next chapter of Mickey Haller’s story is already shaping up to feel different — especially with a key character now stepping into a much bigger role. What seems like a routine production update is quickly turning into something more intriguing, as the return of a familiar face as his sister hints at deeper personal stakes woven into the cases ahead. Behind the scenes, subtle clues about this shift are raising questions about how family, loyalty, and past secrets might collide in ways the show hasn’t explored before. And as anticipation builds for what’s coming next, one question begins to surface… is this just another season of high-stakes defense… or the moment Mickey’s world becomes more complicated than ever?

Los Angeles’s hottest defense attorney rides on.

Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) will climb into the backseat of his Lincoln Navigator for the fifth season of The Lincoln Lawyer. The legal drama, which follows the Haller and Associates team as they defend LA’s trickiest clients, has been renewed for a fifth season, and is in production now.

“We’re so excited to share the news that we’re already hard at work on the next season,” creator, co-showrunner, and executive producer Ted Humphrey and co-showrunner and executive producer Dailyn Rodriguez tell Tudum. “Season 4 is the most challenging and intensely personal journey we’ve taken Mickey Haller on yet, and we’re thrilled and grateful to be able to continue the ride in Season 5!”

Who’s in the cast of The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5?

In addition to Garcia-Rulfo, The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5 will also star Cobie Smulders as Mickey’s sister, Emi Finch, Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, and Angus Sampson. Neve Campbell, Krista Warner, Angelica Maria, and Gigi Zumbado will all return as recurring guest stars.

What happens in The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5?

In The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5, Mickey Haller’s world is upended when the half-sister he never knew existed, Emi (Smulders), comes to him with a plea to help free a wrongfully convicted woman. In a season defined by blood ties and buried secrets, Mickey takes on a grueling habeas petition to overturn a six-year-old murder conviction, but the deeper he digs, the more nefarious the forces arrayed against him become.

Meanwhile, the stakes rise for his trusted team as Lorna (Newton), Izzy (Raycole), and Cisco (Sampson) step up to tackle high-profile challenges of their own. Having just saved himself from a wrongful conviction in Season 4, Mickey is now determined to set right an enormous miscarriage of justice. But as he unravels a dangerous web of corruption and lies, he must grapple with the fractured legacy of his family — both his chosen family and the family he never knew he had.

 

Humphrey and Rodriguez say that Mickey’s experience — being wrongfully accused and put on trial for murder in Season 4 — fundamentally altered him. “What that change means to Mickey or how that change manifests itself in his life is obviously something we’re excited to explore going forward,” says Humphrey.

The fifth season will consist of 10 episodes, inspired by the seventh book in The Lincoln Lawyer series, Resurrection Walk, by author Michael Connelly.
