While no Season 4 has been announced, The Lincoln Lawyer set up its story as if there will be more. Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer set up Season 4 in several ways with the end of its latest batch of episodes. Season 3 of the hit streaming drama ended, putting its titular car-based attorney in a precarious spot. This time around, The Lincoln Lawyer saw Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mickey Haller back, along with the bulk of the remaining cast, as he eyed to redeem one of his former clients, a sex worker named Glory Days, in the wake of her death.…
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo’s version of Mickey Haller, seen in Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer, boasts several characteristics that set him apart from the previous live-action incarnation. Both adaptations of The Lincoln Lawyer are based on the book series by Michael Connelly, which features defense lawyer Mickey Haller, famous for working out of his Lincoln Town Car. Connelly’s The Lincoln Lawyer was first adapted in 2011, spawning a movie that starred Matthew McConaughey. Though 2011’s The Lincoln Lawyer performed moderately well, the series remained untouched until the release of Netflix’s TV adaptation in 2022. Despite originating from the same book series, the adaptations…
The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 includes multiple time jumps and flashbacks that muddy the timeline, raising questions about how much time passes. Based on the books by Michael Connelly, the Netflix series follows a private defense attorney named Mickey Haller and his team as they take on major criminal cases. The third season of The Lincoln Lawyer adapts The Gods of Guilt, the book where Mickey defends Julian La Cosse, the person accused of murdering his former client, Glory Days. The ending of Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer season 2 sets up this storyline perfectly and picks up right where the…
Keira Knightley was a staple of the big screen in the early 2000s, starting with her big break role in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003). That same year, she starred in Love Actually, which is now, for many, a Christmas classic. Knightley rounded out her 2010s with two more Pirates of the Caribbean movies, as well as Pride & Prejudice (2005) and Atonement (2007). Knightley continued to appear regularly in movies throughout the 2010s and into the 2020s, with notable titles including The Imitation Game (2014), Everest (2015), and Boston Strangler (2023), but she…
SPOILER ALERT: The series includes details about Season 4 Part 2 of Netflix‘s Outer Banks. For the second time in four seasons, an Outer Banks finale ends with the Pogues mourning one of their own. But while John B, along with Sarah, turned up a few weeks after being presumed dead in the Season 1 finale, the death was real this time as JJ (Rudy Pankow) passed away in Morocco surrounded by his friends in the final minutes of the Season 4 closer after he had been stabbed to death by his father. On a show of high stakes where…
The Lincoln Lawyer showrunner Dailyn Rodriguez discusses Bosch’s replacement, offering insight on how the Netflix legal drama will handle the switch. Even though The Lincoln Lawyer’s Mickey Haller and the titular Harry Bosch are both characters created by author Michael Connelly, sharing space in the novels, the on-screen crossover between the two shows is more complicated. The Lincoln Lawyer streams on Netflix, while the original Bosch and its recent continuation are under Prime Video’s umbrella. In an interview with Screen Rant’s Dani Kessel Odom, Rodriguez was asked about the show’s plan to handle Bosch’s absence. Although not officially renewed, The…
The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 was another success for Netflix, but season 4 is already set to fix a character change, according to a new tease. Though season 3’s big risks paid off, presenting a case for Mickey Haller that was full of shocking twists and turns, the latest installment still had a few drawbacks. Most of The Lincoln Lawyer‘s main characters returned for season 3, but the family aspect was pushed aside, meaning Maggie and Hayley had limited roles. Some of the subplots also felt overstuffed at times, taking too much focus off of the murder case in focus. Still, The Lincoln Lawyer season…
Meet the man behind the legend. This article was originally published when Season 1 of The Lincoln Lawyer debuted in May 2022. It has been republished to coincide with the launch of Season 3. While watching the Netflix legal drama The Lincoln Lawyer, a few questions may cross your mind: Is this smooth-talking, taco-eating lawyer Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) for real? And if so, is he available? Alas, we can’t quite help with that: Mickey Haller is indeed a fictional character, created by author Michael Connelly in the popular novels that inspired the Netflix series. But, as it turns out,…
Outer Banks has been giving fans emotional whiplash since it premiered in 2020. The action-packed Netflix drama follows a group of treasure-hunting Pogues — John B (Chase Stokes), Sarah (Madelyn Cline), Kiara (Madison Bailey), Pope (Jonathan Daviss), JJ (Rudy Pankow) and Cleo (Carlacia Grant) — who track down some of history’s most elusive artifacts against all odds (many of those odds being the richer, more power-hungry Kooks). The show has run for four seasons so far, however, days before the final episodes of season 4 hit the streamer on Nov. 7, show creators Shannon Burke, Jonas Pate and Josh Pate…
While The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 follows the main events of Michael Connelly’s The Gods of Guilt, the Netflix show takes some artistic liberties, changing elements to benefit the character arcs and overall narrative. The legal drama continues following Mickey Haller’s life as a defense attorney, picking up where The Lincoln Lawyer season 2 ended with the murder of his former client Gloria Dayton, aka Glory Days. Mickey faces his biggest challenge in a legal case yet because of his personal and professional connection to the victim. The trial of Julian La Cosse for the murder of Glory Days is…
“what i do know… the new season is 🤌,” the singer wrote after revealing she doesn’t watch ‘Outer Banks’ Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes support each other from afar. In a recent TikTok, the singer, 31, joked about how much (or little) she knew about Outer Banks when using a filter where she had to rank the characters, given to her in a random order. Ballerini admitted she doesn’t actually watch the show, which stars her boyfriend Stokes, 32. “what i do know… the new season is 🤌,” she captioned the video. In response to comments saying she ranked her favorite characters based on what…
In Season 3, her look evolves to “embrace the world of the power suit.” As can be expected in a legal procedural, many of The Lincoln Lawyer’s key moments unfold inside a courthouse. Featuring dull brick walls and drop-down tile ceilings, this drab location is matched in aesthetic dreariness by scenes set in Mickey Haller’s (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) stuffy law office, filled with dark wood credenzas and strictly utilitarian filing cabinets. But amid all that institutional sameness, Lorna (Becki Newton) stands out like a scoop of rainbow sherbet in a bowl full of plain old vanilla, thanks in large part to…
The novel The Law of Innocence by Michael Connelly provides exciting potential spoilers for Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer season 4. The legal drama, featuring stars like Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Becki Newton, adapts the best-selling book series in an exciting way. The Lincoln Lawyer seasons 1, 2, and 3 adapt The Brass Verdict, The Fifth Witness, and The Gods of Guilt, respectively. While The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 made some changes to The Gods of Guilt, it maintained the twist ending that sets up The Law of Innocence. Mickey gets pulled over for a missing license plate, and the officer discovers…
The Lincoln Lawyer co-showrunner Ted Humphrey discusses how the season 3 finale directly set up events in season 4, teasing potential storylines. Following the events in Michael Connelly’s The Gods of Guilt, The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 ends with the revelation of who killed Gloria Dayton and opens the mystery of another. Mickey (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) gets pulled over on his way to a vacation, and the police officer finds his client Sam Scales’ body in the trunk, which ties the upcoming season to another book. Humphrey confirmed the suspicion that this twist of events in the finale suggests that they’d…

First premiering in 2020, the show is set in North Carolina’s coastal Outer Banks, and follows the conflict between working-class residents (known as Pogues) and wealthy tourists (known as Kooks) in search of a lost treasure.

A Man on the Inside creator Mike Schur gives an optimistic update on season 2. Debuting on Netflix in late November, the eight-episode comedy reunites Schur with television veteran Ted Danson, as they previously worked together on Schur’s twisty series The Good Place.

If you haven’t heard, the ending of Outer Banks season 4 has some fans up in arms. Following the major death of fan-favorite JJ Maybank, there’s much to say about the show’s direction in the run-up to the now-confirmed fifth and final season.

Angelina Jolie’s performance in Maria eases her return to the award nomination lineup, demonstrating the actress never lost her hypnotizing craft despite her participation in less demanding movies. Coming back to bring opera singer, Maria Callas, to the screen, Jolie delivers a portrayal as exquisite as the artist’s immortal voice recordings, making her a leading contender for the best actress category of the Oscars 2025.

The actress is no stranger to great biopic movies, as her characterization of Mariane…
