Barely a month after Season 4 dropped, Netflix’s hit legal drama is already back in action. Mickey Haller hasn’t even had time to park the Lincoln — and Season 5 is officially in production. Here’s everything you need to know.

Cameras Are Rolling — Here’s What We Know
Co-showrunner Ted Humphrey confirmed via Instagram that filming for Season 5 has officially begun in Los Angeles, with Humphrey himself directing the opening episode. The move comes hot on the heels of Season 4’s massive success — it racked up 222.5 million viewing hours and 26.4 million completed views in just four weeks on Netflix’s Top 10.
Netflix greenlighted Season 5 before Season 4 even premiered, which tells you everything about how much confidence the streamer has in The Lincoln Lawyer franchise. With production set to wrap around July 2026 and past seasons taking roughly seven-and-a-half months from shoot to streaming, a February 2027 premiere looks very realistic.

What Will Season 5 Be About?
Season 5 adapts Resurrection Walk, the seventh novel in Michael Connelly’s beloved Mickey Haller book series. While specific plot details are being kept under wraps, the showrunners previously noted it would take Mickey on another intensely personal legal journey — building on Season 4’s emotional stakes.
Expect the full returning cast — Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mickey, Neve Campbell as Maggie McPherson, Becki Newton as Lorna, Jazz Raycole as Izzy, and Angus Sampson as Cisco. The core crew that made this show a fan favourite isn’t going anywhere.
Season 5 will continue filming across more than 50 real Los Angeles locations — iconic LA landmarks like Dodger Stadium, the Bradbury Building, and Grand Central Market have all featured in past seasons, giving the show its distinctive, grounded feel.
