Last year, Netflix‘s adaptation of Michael Connelly‘s hit book series “The Lincoln Lawyer” quickly won over critics and subscribers. So no surprise the streamer has big plans for Season 2 of the legal drama. Based on “The Fifth Witness,” the fourth installment in the book series, Netflix splits the all-new season in half, with the first part premiering next month and the second in August. Â
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo returns as Mickey Haller, Connelly’s lawyer hero whose latest case sees him defend a long-standing client against charges that she murdered a wealthy businessman.
Here’s the official synopsis of the latest season of “The Lincoln Lawer,” courtesy of Netflix:
Mickey Haller, an iconoclastic idealist, runs his law practice out of the back seat of his Lincoln, as he takes on cases big and small across the expansive city of Los Angeles.
