Netflix has released all 10 episodes of The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 today, February 5, 2026, bringing fans back to the world of defense attorney Mickey Haller in what promises to be the most personal and intense season yet. Based on Michael Connelly's bestselling novel The Law of Innocence, this season sees the charismatic lawyer facing his toughest challenge as he becomes his own client in a murder trial that could end his career and freedom forever.
The new season picks up directly from the shocking cliffhanger of Season 3, where police discovered the body of Mickey's former client Sam Scales in the trunk of his Lincoln. Now arrested and charged with murder, Mickey must assemble his entire team and lean on his family to prove his innocence while fighting against a legal system he knows all too well from the other side. The stakes have never been higher for the attorney who built his reputation defending others.
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo returns as the titular Lincoln Lawyer, delivering what early reviews describe as his most emotionally charged performance in the series. The cast welcomes several notable additions this season, including Constance Zimmer as Dana Berg, a ruthless prosecutor nicknamed Death Row Dana who becomes Mickey's fiercest courtroom opponent. Neve Campbell has been promoted to series regular, while Cobie Smulders also joins the ensemble cast in a significant role.
The streaming giant confirmed the show's continued success just days before the Season 4 premiere, announcing on January 28 that The Lincoln Lawyer has been renewed for a fifth season. This early renewal demonstrates Netflix's confidence in the legal drama, which has consistently ranked among the platform's most-watched series since its debut. The show has successfully adapted multiple novels from Connelly's beloved book series, maintaining strong viewership across its run.
David E. Kelley, the mastermind behind numerous acclaimed legal dramas including The Practice and Big Little Lies, serves as executive producer on the series. The show has earned praise for its authentic portrayal of criminal defense work and its nuanced exploration of the American justice system. Season 4 promises to deepen these themes as Mickey experiences the system from the defendant's perspective for the first time.
All 10 episodes of Season 4 are now available to stream worldwide on Netflix, with the platform releasing the complete season at midnight Pacific Time. The binge-worthy format allows viewers to follow Mickey's entire legal battle from arrest to verdict in one viewing session if they choose. Early social media reactions from fans who stayed up for the premiere have been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the season's intense courtroom sequences and emotional family dynamics.
The Lincoln Lawyer has become one of Netflix's most reliable legal drama franchises, successfully bridging the gap between procedural television and prestige streaming content. With Season 5 already confirmed and Connelly's extensive catalog of novels still largely untapped, the future looks bright for Mickey Haller and his unconventional approach to practicing law from the back of his Lincoln Navigator.
