The Lincoln Lawyer is a Netflix legal drama based on the best-selling novels by Michael Connelly, developed for television by David E. Kelley and overseen by showrunner Ted Humphrey. It follows Mickey Haller, a sharp, unorthodox Los Angeles defense attorney who runs his practice from the back seat of a chauffeured Lincoln as he shuttles between courtrooms across the sprawling city.
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo stars as Haller, bringing a bilingual, distinctly Angeleno sensibility to a character previously played on screen by Matthew McConaughey. Each season adapts a different Connelly novel, pairing a twisty central case with the ongoing drama of Haller's relationships with his two ex-wives, his sobriety, and the loyal colleagues who keep his mobile practice running. Neve Campbell, Becki Newton and Jazz Raycole feature among the ensemble.
Since its 2022 debut the series has become one of Netflix's most dependable hits, regularly landing in the platform's global top ten with each new season and earning renewals that have carried the show across multiple books in Connelly's catalog. Critics and audiences alike have praised its old-fashioned case-of-the-season craftsmanship and Garcia-Rulfo's charismatic lead performance. It streams on Netflix.
