Mickey Haller’s (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) next case is going to be a personal one on the Netflix series based on Michael Connelly‘s books.
The Lincoln Lawyer Season 2 ended with him ready to leave one case in the past — though there were a few loose ends and potential danger for not only the titular character but also those around him as a result of how some things went down — and already meeting his next client. With that person, a murder suspect, comes a trial from the book The Gods of Guilt. Season 3 would be based on it, co-showrunner Ted Humphrey confirmed to TV Insider.
Season 1 began “with the guy on the beach who is a broken shell of a man who has lost his career and kind of lost everything in his life,” and with the series, their goal with Mickey is “to tell the story that the books tell, of the mountains this guy has to climb and the valleys he has to fall back down into again and again on his road to whatever redemption he’s going to reach,” he explained. Bringing this case up for Mickey at this point “does feel like the logical next story in that journey.”
