What’s the Story for Lincoln Lawyer Season 5?
According to the official Season 5 logline, Mickey’s world is upended when Emi, the half-sister he never knew existed, asks for his help to free a wrongfully convicted woman — a woman in prison for allegedly killing her ex-husband, a sheriff’s deputy. This will force Mickey to grapple with the fractured legacy of his family as he takes on a gruelling habeas petition to overturn the six-year-old murder conviction, unravelling a dangerous web of corruption and lies with nefarious forces aligned against him.
It’s exactly the kind of high-stakes, deeply personal case that makes this series so compelling. The Season 4 finale ended with Cobie Smulders saving Mickey from a drive-by shooting and introducing herself as his sister — and she has now been promoted to a full series regular for Season 5. whats-on-netflix The series is based on Michael Connelly’s bestselling Mickey Haller novels — learn more about the book series on the official Michael Connelly website.
