‘The Lincoln Lawyer’: Netflix Sets May Premiere For David E. Kelly Series Based On Michael Connelly Novels

Netflix has set a May premiere date for The Lincoln Lawyer, a new series based on Michael Connelly’s series of bestselling novels, from ‘Big Little Lies’ creator David E. Kelley, with Manuel Garcia-Rulfo in the lead role.

The Lincoln Lawyer’ follows Mickey Haller (Garcia-Rulfo), an iconoclastic idealist, runs his law practice out of the back seat of his Lincoln Town Car, as he takes on cases big and small across the expansive city of Los Angeles. The series is adapted to serve up the complex and mysterious arcs fans know and love with a mix of light-hearted humour and a dose of family dynamics. Season one consists of 10 one-hour episodes and is based on the second book in the series, The Brass Verdict.

Alongside Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (‘The Magnificent Seven’, ‘6 Underground’, ‘Goliath’), the series stars Becki Newton (‘How I Met Your Mother’, ‘Ugly Betty’) as Lorna, and Neve Campbell (‘Scream’ movies, ‘House of Cards’) as Maggie, Mickey’s two ex-wives. Krista Warner plays Hayley, his daughter with Maggie.

They are joined by Jazz Raycole (‘Council of Dads’), Angus Sampson (‘No Activity’, ‘Our Flag Means Death’), Christopher Gorham (‘Ugly Betty’, ‘2 Broke Girls’), Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine (‘The Chi’), Michael Graziadei (‘True Detective’, ‘The Young and the Restless’), and Jamie McShane (‘CSI: Vegas’, ‘SEAL Team’, ‘Star Trek: Picard’).

David E. Kelley (‘Big Little Lies’, ‘Goliath’) series as writer/exec producer, alongside Ted Humphrey (‘The Good Wife’, ‘Wisdom of the Crowd’) as showrunner/exec producer/writer, and Ross Fineman (‘Goliath’, ‘Big Sky’) as exec producer. A+E serves as the studio.

The Lincoln Lawyer‘ premieres Friday, 13th May 2022 on Netflix UK and worldwide.
