The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 Is Back!
Netflix’s original series, The Lincoln Lawyer, debuted in May 2022 and took the world by storm. Since the series has remained a massive hit, the streaming giant never thought twice about renewing the show for its sophomore run, which was split into two parts. While fans waited for the second part of the second season of The Lincoln Lawyer, Netflix surprised everyone with jolting news.
In August 2023, the streaming giant confirmed the show will return for a third season. However, the renewal discussion began ahead of the volume 2 premiere. According to reports, Netflix planned to start production earlier, but the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes happened. However, production didn’t start sooner.
As per the plans, the third season will consist of 10 episodes based on Michael Connelly’s fifth book of The Lincoln Lawyer series, The Gods of Guilt. Later, the showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez discussed the series renewal. The showrunners said the audience response to the series was fantastic and gratifying.
They were thrilled to return with The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 to dig deeper into Michael Connelly’s universe. Netflix’s Vice President of Scripted Series, Peter Friedlander, responded, “We’re thrilled to bring back The Lincoln Lawyer for a third season.”
Peter also expressed gratitude to the series showrunners for bringing such a fantastic series to their platform. The show has peaked the global lists, and it’s a testament to their work. The vice president also thanked the cast members for bringing such stories to the global audience.
When Will The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 Production Begin?
Since the series was renewed during the Hollywood strikes, this suggests that the scripting was done ahead of the WGA strike. Just like other shows, The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 was also affected by the then-ongoing strikes. However, as soon as the strike was resolved in mid-November 2023, reports surfaced that The Lincoln Lawyer’s third season would be the first one to return to production.
The series started production in January 2024. On January 18, 2024, the streaming giant confirmed that the third season is under production. Netflix also dropped the first filming look. The first picture shows Manuel Garcia-Rulfo’s Mickey Halle and Neve Campbell’s Maggie Mcpherson conversing on a couch. They both looked comfortable around each other as they discussed some light-hearted topics.
The filming took only six months to wrap up, and it concluded in early June 2024. On June 3, Sierra Marshall took to her Instagram to share that the filming was concluded. Sierra wrote, “That’s a wrap!” The actor also shared that the third season was the wildest one and that she was thankful for all the experience and love she had received from the cast and crew.
The filming took place in Los Angeles. While the filming wrapped up in June, the series didn’t take much time to conclude its post-production stage. As for the budget, Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 budget is reportedly between $3 and $5 million per episode.
