The long-awaited fourth season of The Lincoln Lawyer is set to bring back Neve Campbell as Maggie McPherson in a much bigger role! Netflix gave the show the green light in January 2025, and they're about to start rolling. Neve had only popped up in a couple of episodes of Season 3.
In Season 4, the actress will be seen in all 10 episodes, which fits with the important part she plays in Michael Connelly's sixth book, The Law of Innocence. This is a big development for the show because Mickey Haller, played by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, is dealing with a tough personal situation.
Maggie's going to be right there for him as a rock-solid supporter. Since the last season ended with Mickey possibly being set up for murder, fans are excited to watch Maggie, not just be there for the feels but also to help him out with her legal genius. It'll be courtroom action with lots of personal drama between them, because, let's face it, they used to be married.
So, we're in for a wild ride of legal drama and emotional rollercoaster with these two exes working together again.
Maggie McPherson in The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4
In Season 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer, Maggie McPherson stands out as a key character, in line with Michael Connelly's book, The Law of Innocence. In the story, she is crucial when Mickey gets slapped with a first-degree murder charge. Maggie then takes a step back from her duty as a prosecutor to help him out in his defense.
She'll be juggling her skills and her feelings for Mickey, and that's going to make her a big deal this season on The Lincoln Lawyer. This time, we are going to see Maggie in the courtroom like never before.
Describing Maggie to Screen Rant, Ted Humphrey, co-showrunner of The Lincoln Lawyer, said she was:
“The great love of Mickey’s life.”
The assertion suggests that, maybe, Maggie and Mickey could be back together romantically, too.
Besides what Maggie brings to the table work-wise and personally, her showing up more frequently might change things between Mickey and his current flame, Andrea Freeman, played by Yaya DaCosta. Maggie's entry is sure to spice up the plot of Season 4.
What to expect from The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4?
In Season 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer, the plot is going to plunge into The Law of Innocence. Mickey's in a tough spot because someone he was supposed to be helping ends up dead, and guess where they find the body? That's right, in the trunk of his car. Things are looking bad for him.
The Lincoln Lawyer will have lots of courtroom drama as expected in the news season, with Maggie stepping up to lead Mickey's defense. She's the knight in shining armor in this legal battle royale.
Season 3 of The Lincoln Lawyer was a smash hit on Netflix, always in the Global Top 10. Now, with Neve Campbell's coming back full-time, Season 4 promises to be even more epic. Fans hope the show will retain the trademark gritty, noir-ish edge, as the courtroom thriller unfolds in the heart of Los Angeles.
The people in charge, Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez, said:
“The show is a love letter to our city and an homage to the great tradition of LA noir.”
The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 premieres on Netflix in late 2025.
