Netflix has announced that its acclaimed legal drama, The Lincoln Lawyer, will conclude after its forthcoming fifth season. The series, led by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, is set to wrap up one of the streaming platform’s most successful drama titles in recent years. Production on the final season is currently underway, although an official release date has not yet been disclosed.
Fans of Mickey Haller, the defense attorney known for managing his legal practice from the backseat of a Lincoln Town Car, will soon see the conclusion of his story. The show, adapted from Michael Connelly’s bestselling novels, debuted in 2020 and gradually garnered a dedicated following. Garcia-Rulfo’s compelling portrayal of Haller helped establish the series as a favorite among Netflix viewers, who have followed the lawyer’s intense and complex cases throughout the seasons.
In a significant development, the conclusion of The Lincoln Lawyer was announced alongside the news that Emily in Paris will also end with its upcoming sixth season. The latter series, starring Lily Collins as Emily Cooper, has enjoyed international acclaim since its 2020 debut. Collins personally informed fans about the final season in a behind-the-scenes video, describing it as the closing chapter of Emily’s journey.
Despite the bittersweet nature of the news, the creative team behind The Lincoln Lawyer expressed gratitude for the opportunity to bring the story to a satisfying close. Co-showrunners and executive producers Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez emphasized their intention to properly conclude the series while leaving room for some characters to potentially continue beyond the show.
Meanwhile, Emily in Paris has left a significant cultural impact, consistently ranking in Netflix’s Global Top 10 and influencing fashion trends worldwide. Both series have been key contributors to Netflix’s global success over the past few years.
Netflix has yet to announce premiere dates for the final seasons of either The Lincoln Lawyer or Emily in Paris. For now, audiences can anticipate one last chapter for both beloved series.
