Plot Teasers: Mickey Haller Under Fire
Season 3 ended with Mickey Haller in serious trouble—he’s handcuffed after police discover a dead body in his trunk. This shocking moment sets the stage for season 4, which will be based on "The Law of Innocence," the sixth book in Michael Connelly’s Lincoln Lawyer series.
As detailed by The Mirror, this season sees Mickey not just defending clients, but standing trial himself. Viewers will follow his fight to clear his name while facing new antagonists and legal battles.
Exciting New Cast Members and Fan Favorites Return
The core cast remains, with Manuel Garcia-Rulfo returning as Mickey Haller. He’ll be joined again by Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, Angus Sampson, and Neve Campbell.
Season 4 introduces new faces, too. Notably, Sasha Alexander (of NCIS fame) will appear as FBI Agent Dawn Ruth. This crossover has already energized viewers of both shows. Read more about the casting surprise here.
In addition, Constance Zimmer joins the cast as ruthless prosecutor Dana Berg—known as "Death Row Dana." Other exciting additions include Jason Butler Harner, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Jason O’Mara, and celebrity chef Nancy Silverton, who will appear in a cameo role.
What’s Next for Mickey Haller’s Team?
Many fans are eager for the return of Elliot Gould’s beloved character, Legal Siegel. As explained by Screen Rant, Legal is a crucial figure for Mickey—especially now, as he must rely on a strong support network in the face of his arrest. Season 4 might let Legal take a more active role in the main defense, offering both legal advice and personal support that Mickey needs during this crisis.
The collaboration between Legal, Lorna, and Maggie is expected to bring depth to the legal strategy, especially with Mickey’s future on the line.
