The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 on Netflix ended with the last episode revealing who killed Glory Days, leaving fans curious about what's next for the hotshot defense attorney in L.A. While the season was filled with twists and turns, there has been confusion among fans related to legendary actress Barbra Streisand.

Known for her triumphant career spanning more than five decades, many viewers of The Lincoln Lawyer doubt whether the actress is in the legal drama. So, if you've been looking for an answer, Barbra Streisand isn't in the Netflix series, but her ex-husband Elliot Gould is.

While Streisand has no connection to The Lincoln Lawyer, her ex-husband Elliot Gould plays David "Legal" Siegel. He worked with Mickey Haller's late father when he was alive and now serves as a great mentor to the defense attorney.

Streisand and Gould were considered among the highly admired couples in the 1960s. They tied the knot in 1963 and welcomed their son in 1966. However, the two decided to part ways within eight years of marriage. Their split was highly controversial, as they were a popular couple.

Elliot Gould is now 86, and fans can watch him play a wise character in the hit legal drama on Netflix. He's known for several hit roles in films, including Reuben Tishkoff in the Ocean’s movies. Similar to his role in The Lincoln Lawyer, Tishkoff mentors the film's protagonist.

The Lincoln Lawyer Season 1 came out in 2022 and quickly gained popularity among viewers. It focuses on how Mickey Haller, a lawyer who typically handles less controversial cases and works out of his Lincoln cars, agrees to become a defense attorney for a rich real estate agent after he's wrongly accused of murder.

As the series progresses, Haller uncovers more layers and truths about the deceased and corruption in law enforcement. Season 3 arrived this month and revealed that DEA agent James De Marco is the natural killer.

The third chapter had several flashbacks and time jumps, which helped viewers understand the case deeply and how Haller was linked to it. Julian La Cosse was proven not guilty after spending almost nine months in prison and reaching a settlement.

The finale ended with Haller enjoying dinner with his team and announcing a solo trip. However, a cop stopped him on his way and informed him that his license plate was missing from the car.

The cop then discovers blood coming out of Haller's car and places him in handcuffs after suspecting something's wrong. When the cop opened the trunk, they found Sam Scales' dead body, a former client of Mickey Haller and Lorna.

The Lincoln Lawyer hasn't been greenlit for Season 4, but fans might get another chapter considering how Season 3 ended. While speaking to TV Insider about a potential season 4, showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez shared insights into how a new season might look like. Rodriguez said:

"We always set up sort of the next case of the season. This one won’t quite set up the next case, but it will definitely set up the next book."

He added:

"I think we can say this season will definitely propel us in a very exciting and personal way into a Season 4."

The showrunners also hinted that Michael Connelly is working on a new novel, which they might adapt. However, the future of The Lincoln Lawyer lies in how viewers receive it on the streamer.

So, if there's a Season 4, it will likely explore how Scales' dead body was placed in Haller's trunk. Fans have to wait until Netflix announces the show's renewal.
