Netflix Orders THE LINCOLN LAWYER Series

THE LINCOLN LAWYER is coming to Netflix.

“Today, I’m excited to announce that after a bit of a journey, Mickey Haller will come to life once again on screen – this time in the TV series adaptation of THE LINCOLN LAWYER coming to Netflix and starring the wonderful and talented Manuel Garcia-Rulfo,” author Michael Connelly said in a statement.

According to Connelly, who has penned six books in the LINCOLN LAWYER series, the Netflix take “will be adapted to serve up the complex and mysterious arcs fans know and love with a mix of light-hearted humor and a dose of family dynamics.”

“Mickey Haller, an iconoclastic idealist, runs his law practice out of the back seat of his Lincoln Town Car, as he takes on cases big and small across the expansive city of Los Angeles. Manuel is the ideal Mickey Haller, as Haller follows in the footsteps of his attorney father with the showmanship of his Mexican movie star mother. Manuel brings a powerful dynamic and dimension to the role – one that aligns with the books and will give the show the opportunity to celebrate the Latinx heritage and roots of this Los Angeles-based story.”

Season 1 will be based on the second book in the series, “The Brass Verdict.” The producing team includes David E. Kelley,  Ted Humphrey (who will also serve as showrunner), and Ross Fineman.

The book series had been previously adapted into a 2011 film starring Matthew McConaughey.
