Fans of The Lincoln Lawyer and its star, Manuel García-Rulfo, had reason to celebrate when Netflix renewed the hit legal drama for a fifth season ahead of Season 4's premiere. Now comes some bittersweet news: Season 5 will be the last.

Netflix confirmed that the upcoming season will serve as the series finale, bringing Mickey Haller's story to a close after five seasons of courtroom drama, cliffhangers and compelling characters.

Since its 2022 debut, The Lincoln Lawyer has been one of Netflix's most reliable performers, with García-Rulfo's portrayal of defense attorney Mickey Haller at the heart of its global appeal. The first season alone drew more than 260 million hours viewed in its first four weeks. Across four seasons, the series has appeared on Netflix's Global Top 10 for 29 weeks and accumulated 171 million views since 2023.
