What Season 5 Will Cover
The final season draws from Michael Connelly’s novel Resurrection Walk. Mickey Haller’s world is upended when a half-sister he never knew, Emi (Cobie Smulders), asks for his help freeing a wrongfully convicted woman — sending him into a grueling habeas petition that uncovers deep corruption.
New recurring cast members joining for the finale include Amy Aquino, Angela Trimbur, Elpidia Carrillo, Nate Corddry, Tricia Helfer, and Keir O’Donnell, alongside returning favorites Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, Angus Sampson, and Neve Campbell.
Michael Connelly’s Lincoln Lawyer novels have anchored the show since its inception, part of a broader trend of successful legal drama adaptations finding a natural home on streaming platforms.
