If you love Michael Connelly’s books – which introduced us to the mighty Harry Bosch as well as his occasional friend-cum-foil, Mickey Haller – you’ll be glad to know that Netflix has green-lita third season ofThe Lincoln Lawyer.

There will be 10 new episodes in total on thebest streaming service, and where season two was based on Connelly’sThe Fifth Witness, the third season will be an adaptation of book number five,The Gods of Guilt.

Alongside Bosch, Haller is one of the great characters in modern crime fiction so a new season ofThe Lincoln Lawyeris definitely something to celebrate. And it’s a safe bet forNetflix, considering that season two was one of Netflix’s top 10 shows in 81 countries.

What do we know about season three of Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer?

The Gods of Guiltwas Connelly’s 26th novel and attracted rave reviews when it was published in 2013, according toThe Washington Postit’s “terrific”. The book begins with the titular lawyer Mickey Haller at rock bottom or something very close to it, but then a killer case comes in. He’s hired to defend an accused murderer who can afford to pay him fifty thousand bucks up-front. But of course this is a Michael Connelly story so things are not quite what they seem and Haller soon finds himself up to his neck in trouble.

According toDeadline, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo will return in the lead role of Mickey Halley and Becki Newton (Lorna), Jazz Raycole (Izzy), Angus Sampson (Cisco), Yaya DaCosta (Andrea Freemann) and others will reprise their roles.

If you’re not familiar with Connelly’s books, they’re definitely worth a read, and the shows based on them are great too. I subscribed to Prime Video specifically to watchBosch, which is magnificent, and tuned intoAmazon’s Freevee for the spin-off seriesBosch: Legacy. Both shows are still available and the previous seasons ofThe Lincoln Lawyerare available on Netflix. And a second season ofBosch: Legacyis due on October 20. I’ve embedded the trailer below.
