The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 Trailer Reveals Mickey Haller’s Fight for His Life

Netflix has unveiled the Season 4 trailer for The Lincoln Lawyer, and it signals a dramatic shift for the hit legal drama. For the first time, defense attorney Mickey Haller isn’t fighting for a client—he’s fighting for himself. According to co-showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez, the upcoming season is the show’s “most personal and emotional” yet, raising the stakes higher than ever.

Mickey Haller Becomes the Accused

Season 4 picks up directly after the shocking Season 3 finale, which ended with the discovery of a dead body—belonging to Mickey’s former client Sam Scales—in the trunk of his iconic Lincoln. Now portrayed as “the man with the axe,” Mickey must prove his innocence while the justice system he knows so well turns against him.

In the trailer, Mickey delivers a chilling metaphor: “Every murder case is like a tree… I’m going to cut that tree down to the ground.” The line sets the tone for a season centered on survival, reputation, and the emotional toll of standing trial for murder.

A Ruthless Prosecutor Raises the Stakes

Standing between Mickey and freedom is Dana Berg, a feared prosecutor nicknamed “Death Row,” played with intensity by Constance Zimmer. The co-showrunners describe Berg as a true believer—skilled, relentless, and willing to give no quarter. Both Mickey and Maggie have a complicated history with her, making the courtroom battle deeply personal.

With the prosecution playing hardball and enemies resurfacing from Mickey’s past, the trial becomes as much about psychological endurance as legal strategy.

Familiar Faces Rally Around Mickey

Season 4 also strengthens its emotional core by bringing back key characters. Neve Campbell returns as Maggie McPherson in every episode this season, forcing her to navigate the moral conflict of helping someone “on the other side of the aisle”—especially when that someone is Mickey.

Mickey’s second ex-wife, Lorna Crane (Becki Newton), steps into a larger role as she juggles defending Mickey and keeping Haller & Associates afloat. Fan-favorite characters Izzy Letts, Cisco Wojciechowski, and mentor David “Legal” Siegel also return, forming Mickey’s last line of defense.

Despite his trademark swagger—“I’m being framed for murder, how much worse could it get?”—the trailer hints that Mickey’s confidence is a front. Humphrey and Rodriguez note that as the case unfolds, the emotional weight begins to show, testing Mickey’s resilience and belief in justice.

When Does The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 Premiere?

The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 premieres February 5 on Netflix, promising a courtroom showdown unlike anything fans have seen before. With Mickey Haller on trial, the series flips its formula—and delivers its most intense chapter yet.
