The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 Casts 3 New Characters, Including “Especially Determined Adversary” For Mickey
The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 adds three more cast members, including a new adversary for Mickey. Season 4, based on The Law of Innocence novel by Michael Connelly, will see the titular Mickey Haller (Manuel-Garcia Rulfo) fighting to clear his name after being framed for murder. The legal drama has already brought on a few actors in preparation for its return to Netflix, including NCIS alum Sasha Alexander as an FBI Agent. She arrives, in part, to pressure Mickey into dropping his investigation into the FBI.
Deadlinereports that Kyle Richards, Jason Butler Harner, and Scott Lawrence have joined The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 cast in guest roles. Richards, a reality television mainstay, in addition to portraying Lindsay Wallace in the Halloween franchise, has the role of Celeste. The character shows up at Haller & Associates, hoping to hire Lorna (Becky Newton) as a divorce attorney.
Harner, seen recently in the Apple TV+ drama Sugar, portrays Drucker, a seasoned Robbery Homicide detective with many years of investigations under his belt. Drucker proves to be a determined adversary for Mickey. As for Lawrence, best known for playing Commander Sturgis Turner in JAG, he has the role of Judge Stone. Prickly and tough on sentencing, Judge Stone is a former prosecutor who's described as intimidating and impatient even though he seeks to treat both sides equally.
What This Means For The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4
They Fulfill Different Roles
Richards, Harner, and Lawrence join the incoming Lincoln Lawyer cast that includes Constance Zimmer. She'll play the prosecutor on Mickey's case, with ties to his first ex-wife Maggie (Neve Campbell). It'll be an interesting dynamic since Campbell is coming back full-time for season 4. Others who have joined the cast include Marcus Henderson as Mickey's cellmate and Gigi Zumbado as Izzy's classmate in her paralegal course.
These new additions will continue in the direction of informing Mickey's story after the explosive Lincoln Lawyer season 3 ending, but also giving space for other characters to evolve. Lorna should have fun with Richards, who is primed to wink at her Beverly Hills reality television persona. Garcia-Rulfo will share the screen with two drama vets, Harner, also known for playing Roy Petty on Ozark, and Lawrence. The latter actor recently played another authority figure on the Hulu hit Paradise.
Our Take On The Latest Lincoln Lawyer Castings
Spreading The Wealth
Four seasons in, the objective is not only to tell Mickey's story. The new casting also teases that Lorna will have a fun plot. It makes for a more well-rounded outing of The Lincoln Lawyer that will be more fun to watch whenever it returns. For the moment, however, the Netflix legal drama doesn't have a release date.
