Manuel Garcia-Rulfo has teased Mickey’s story in The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 and why the upcoming season of the legal drama is his favorite one so far. The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 ended with Mickey being framed for the murder of Sam Scales, laying the groundwork for season 4, which will adapt Michael Connelly’s novel The Law of Innocence.
Speaking with Variety, Garcia-Rulfo explained how emotional The Lincoln Lawyer season 4’s story will be, describing the “heaviness” of the story as its biggest strength. The actor explained how, even before shooting began, just reading the scripts made season 4 his favorite in the series so far. Check out what Garcia-Rulfo had to say about the upcoming episodes below:
It’s the most emotional season — heavy emotion — because of how we found him, and a lot of things happen, which I cannot say, but they’re very emotional for me. I told the showrunners even reading them before we start shooting, it is the one that I’ve enjoyed the most. I’ve all enjoyed all of them, but this one is the one that I’ve enjoyed the most because it has the most heaviness.
What Garcia-Rulfo’s Statement Means For The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4
The Case Won’t Be Easy For The Team To Wrestle With
Based on Garcia-Rulfo’s statement, it sounds like The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 will be delivering Mickey one of his most emotionally hard-hitting cases to date. Since he’s being considered the culprit in this scenario, it’ll be up to his team members, like Lorna and Cisco, to clear his name. Given the severity of the accusation, though, this won’t be easy.

A Strong Case For The Law Of Innocence Adaptation
Given the praise Garcia-Rulfo has for the upcoming episodes, it sounds like the show will be offering an engaging adaptation of The Law of Innocence. The emotional moments will no doubt stem from inevitable roadblocks in the team’s way as they do everything they can to exonerate the protagonist. However, it clearly won’t be easy if he’s going to trial.
Even though the lead actor is promising a much more emotional and heavy season than ever before, The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 will probably continue exhibiting the charm that made the series popular in the first place. This shift in dynamics will be important, but it also sounds like the series won’t forget its roots either.
The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 is currently in production.
