Season 3 ofThe Lincoln Lawyerbows on Netflix this October. The season has Mickey Haller dealing with the murder of his friend Glory Days, a murder for which her friend Julian La Cosse stands accused.The trailer for Season 3finds Mickey running into more trouble, and in times like these, he can use all the support he can get.The Lincoln Lawyeris based onMichael Connelly’s books, the same author forBosch’s source material. In fact, Mickey and Bosch are half-brothers, and it wouldn’t be hard to imagine either character in either show. However, there’s a problem with a potential crossover or cameo.
The Lincoln Lawyer’sco-showrunners,Dailyn RodriguezandTed Humphrey, talked toTV Insiderabout the show’s third season. When asked about a potential crossover between the shows, the creatives talked about the problem with such an endeavor given that the shows are owned by different streaming platforms.
“We really can’t use that character. They can’t use [Mickey]. It’s unfortunate,” Rodriguez said of the status quo. “So we try and figure out ways to do those storylines with other characters,” she added. Humphrey was a little more positive, holding out hope because of the crossover betweenDeadpoolandWolverine, which seemed impossible in the past. He talked about that, saying:
“Unless they figure out [something]. I just sawDeadpool & Wolverine, and those were two characters that couldn’t cross. Unless they figure out some way for Netflix and Amazon to join forces… I guess you’d never say never, but at the moment it would seem impossible, yes.”
What to Expect In ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ Season 3
The season picks up thearcs from the previous season, both major and minor. The season-long arc has Mickey diving into Glory Days' world to figure out who killed her. He takes on Julian La Cosse as a client, and even though Julian claims he’s innocent, “[Mickey] can’t shake this nagging feeling that he may in some way be responsible,” Humphrey toldTV Insider. Mickey will also deal with other minor cases as threats to his life escalate.
Meanwhile, in his private life, Mickey and Andrea Newman get cozy as Maggie moves from LA. Rodriguez teased “more of a flirtation, a friendship, and a mutual respect,” between Mickey and Andrea in Season 3. Even though the character was not part of the fifth book inThe Lincoln Lawyerseries titledGods of Guilt, her appearance in Season 2 won the co-showrunners over.Humphrey teased her arctoTV Line, saying:
“Andrea Freeman will be returning in Season 3. We loved the dynamic between her and Mickey as well, and she will play a very significant role — though in a somewhat different capacity than Season 2.”
