The Lincoln Lawyer, Netflix’s popular drama about Los Angeles criminal defense attorney Mickey Haller, will rest its case at the end of the show’s fifth season.
Netflix said the show, which has consistently drawn strong viewing numbers, will end with its next installment, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The show is based on a series of novels by bestselling author Michael Connelly. It stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Haller. The final season will be based on Resurrection Walk, the seventh book in the series, and it will introduce Haller to a half-sister he never knew existed, who comes to him with a plea to help free a wrongfully convicted woman, according to the Hollywood Reporter story.
“All good things must come to an end, but thankfully, sometimes how they come to an end is up to us,” co-showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez said in a statement. “From the very beginning, the mission was always not only to tell the story of Mickey Haller and his compatriots but also to give that story a proper conclusion. And while it is of course bittersweet, it’s also an amazing opportunity to bring this adventure to a close and perhaps chart a new course for some of our characters into the future.”
