Here’s the latest on The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5.
- Renewal and production: Netflix has renewed The Lincoln Lawyer for a fifth season, with production reportedly starting in March 2026 in Los Angeles. This news came before Season 4 even premiered, signaling strong confidence in the series [news source from early 2026 reporting renewal and production timeline].
- Episode count and source material: Season 5 is expected to consist of about 10 episodes and will adapt Resurrection Walk, the seventh novel in Michael Connelly’s Lincoln Lawyer series. This aligns with the show’s pattern of adapting Connelly’s books across seasons.[1][2]
- Cast and new developments: Cobie Smulders has joined the cast, with early reporting confirming new family-driven storylines and potential shifts in character dynamics as Season 5 moves forward. Observers note ongoing returns of core cast and the introduction of new characters tied to Resurrection Walk.[3][4][5]
- Release window: An exact release date for Season 5 has not been announced yet, but filming is underway or imminent, suggesting a late-2026 to early-2027 release window is plausible depending on post-production and scheduling on Netflix. No firm date is available in the latest updates provided.[7][3]
