The Lincoln Lawyer will return – Netflix has renewed the series for season 2.
The legal drama follows a criminal defence lawyer and recovering addict named Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) who works in the back of a chauffeur-driven car – a Lincoln Navigator – instead of an office as he takes on cases in Los Angeles. It also stars Neve Campbell, Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, Angus Sampson, and Christopher Gorham.
The series is a reboot of the 2011 movie of the same name, which starred Matthew McConaughey as Mickey, alongside Marisa Tomei, William H. Macy, and Bryan Cranston.

Season 2 will also consist of 10 episodes and it will be based on Connelly's follow-up book, The Fifth Witness.
