How Does The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 End? Let’s Break Down That Shocking Finale
Feb. 2
In Season 1, Mickey was joined by plenty of familiar TV faces, including Party of Five star Neve Campbell and Ugly Betty stars Becki Newton and Christopher Gorham. Season 2 introduced some more small-screen regulars who cruise into Mickey’s lane, including Lana Parrilla from Once Upon a Time and Yaya DaCosta from America’s Next Top Model. Season 3 brought in some veteran actors, including Merrin Dungey and John Pirruccello, alongside fresh faces like Allyn Moriyon, who made his on-screen debut. Now, in the newest season, UnREAL’s Constance Zimmer is approaching the bench.
Check out all the people who make up Mickey Haller’s world below.
Who’s returning to the cast for Season 4?
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo
as Mickey Haller
About the Character
Our titular hero got his name because he eschews a brick-and-mortar office for one on wheels: namely, his Lincoln SUV. But he’s forced to put down roots when a fellow lawyer, Jerry Vincent, mysteriously dies and leaves his entire practice — and entire case load — to Mickey. Born in Los Angeles and raised partially in Mexico by his mother, Mickey returns to work after a hiatus at the start of Season 1. (He became dependent on prescription pain pills following an accident, but has now kicked the habit.) He has two ex-wives (with whom he’s still very friendly) and relies on a client turned driver to chauffeur him around his hometown. After establishing himself as the “hottest defense lawyer in LA” through numerous tough cases over three seasons, Mickey now finds himself facing his most difficult one yet. In the last scene of Season 3’s finale, the body of a former client and con man named Sam Scales is discovered in the trunk of Mickey’s car, and he’s suspected of the murder.

Neve Campbell
as Maggie
About the Character
Deputy district attorney Maggie is Mickey’s first ex-wife and the mother of his daughter, Haley. Maggie deeply believes in the justice system, which is occasionally at odds with Mickey’s view of the power structure in the US. (He fights for the underdogs who don’t have the power of bureaucracy behind them.) Maggie and Mickey divorced because Mickey lost himself in his work instead of focusing on his family, but there are still sparks between the two.
Mickey’s endless pursuit of the truth may cause another rift between them at the end of Season 1, but that spark is still there. And even if she rolls her eyes, Maggie can’t exactly fault Los Angeles Lawyer magazine for putting him on the cover. She did marry the man. At the end of Season 2, Maggie shares a romantic evening with Mickey and it seems likely they’ll rekindle their relationship. The morning after, she drops the bombshell on Mickey that she’s been offered a job with the DA’s office in San Diego and is moving there.
In Season 4, Maggie finds herself working on the other side of the system while Mickey fights to prove his innocence in a criminal murder case. According to co-showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez, the bond between Maggie and Mickey is special and “in some ways unbreakable,” but this season, it’s “tested as never before, and the audience will have to watch to see where things go from here.”

Becki Newton
as Lorna
About the Character
Mickey is close to his second ex-wife, Lorna, too. So close, in fact, that for years, she served as his office manager and paralegal of sorts. And, after graduating law school and passing the bar in Season 3, Lorna became an associate at Mickey’s firm. Although they’ve been split for years and Lorna is now married to Mickey’s private investigator Cisco, they still admire each other. With Mickey on trial in Season 4, it’s on Lorna to keep the firm afloat. “She’ll make rookie mistakes, but she’ll also bring her own inimitable style and street smarts to bear as she begins what’s going to be a lifelong journey for her into becoming a seasoned attorney herself,” Humphrey and Rodriguez share.

About the Character
Mickey’s most prominent client in Season 1 is the rich, calculating CEO of a video game company who’s accused of killing his wife and her lover, a yoga instructor. While the Lincoln Lawyer convinces the jury to find Trevor “not guilty,” it turns out, he actually was guilty of killing his wife ... because she was the real brains behind his company’s operation and she was going to come clean. Justice did come for Trevor though, through a “brass knuckle verdict” — his wife’s lover’s other lover shot him at a press conference. While things don’t end well for Trevor, Mickey’s performance in the high-profile trial earns him a whole new roster of clients and press engagements to deal with in Season 2.
