We all know we’re in for a wild trip with Season 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer. The upcoming book-to-screen adaptation is taking over the story advised in Michael Connelly’s e-book The Legislation of Innocence, which suggests we’re about to see our titular lawyer, Mickey Haller, in jail and defending himself in each approach. Now, the person who performs the legal professional, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, has opened up about why he’s loved this season a lot, and he’s making me equal components scared and hyped.
In the intervening time, Season 4 doesn’t have a premiere date on Netflix’s 2025 schedule; nonetheless, it did wrap just lately. Now, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo is out and about selling his mission on the 2025 film schedule, Jurassic World Rebirth, and through all of that, he’s been speaking about The Lincoln Lawyer too. In truth, whereas on Only for Selection, he was requested about Mikey’s upcoming story, and in response, he stated:
It’s essentially the most emotional one — heavy emotion — due to how we discovered him, and quite a lot of issues occur, which I can’t say, however they’re very emotional for me. I advised the showrunners that even studying them earlier than we begin capturing, it’s the one which I’ve loved essentially the most. I’ve loved all of them, however this one is the one which I’ve loved essentially the most as a result of it has essentially the most heaviness.
I’m positive you bear in mind, however simply to recap, on the finish of The Lincoln Lawyer’s third season, Mikey was arrested for a homicide he didn’t commit when Sam Scales was discovered lifeless within the trunk of his automobile. So, in Season 4, the lawyer shall be in jail, and he’ll work to defend himself. Within the e-book The Legislation of Innocence, Mikey can also be a goal within the courtroom and jail, which doubtless performs into that “emotional” and heavy feeling Garcia-Rulfo alluded to.
Now, I like that the actor has “loved” this season “essentially the most,” as a result of it offers me much more confidence in Season 4. I already had a sense it’d be an unforgettable one; nonetheless, the reward coming from the present’s lead helps its case quite a bit.
His mentioning of how “emotional” it’s been for him to movie has me a bit scared, although. Mickey shall be caught in jail, and I can solely think about how exhausting that’s going to be on him in addition to his buddies, colleagues and household.
The “heaviness” he talked about can also be making me anxious in a great way. If I needed to guess, I would assume that attribute might be seen by way of Mikey’s relationships along with his household. We all know Neve Campbell shall be again in a giant approach as Mickey’s ex-wife Maggie, and I can’t think about how his arrest will put stress on his relationship along with her and their daughter.
I’m additionally questioning how Mickey will fare in jail. Whereas he’s very robust and strong-willed, jail is a unique beast. And since he has a goal on his again, I’m involved for his security. Plus, making an attempt to construct his protection whereas probably needing to bodily defend himself sounds harmful and traumatic.
All these nervous emotions, although, are optimistic, as a result of the extra intense and dramatic the higher on the subject of TV reveals. So, convey on the drama, heaviness and delight. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo was clearly thrilled by it, and I do know I shall be too as soon as we’re in a position to stream Season 4 with a Netflix subscription.
