The streamer's legal drama that just keeps getting better has returned to the platform as a global streaming juggernaut. The best legal dramas of all time include compelling cases, interesting characters, and plenty of story twists to keep the plot interesting.
For Netflix, one of their best ongoing shows hits all the right marks. The Lincoln Lawyer returned with season 4 on February 5, 2026. The 10-episode installment follows the end of The Lincoln Lawyer season 3, where protagonist Micky Haller was arrested after being framed for the murder of Sam Scales. With his team in tow, he sets out to prove his innocence and uncover who the true culprit is. Now, FlixPatrol reports that The Lincoln Lawyer is now the Number 2 show worldwide on Netflix following the global release of season 4. According to data from February 6, 2026, the show has earned a spot on the Top 10 of multiple countries, becoming Number 1 in Canada, Kenya, and Hungary. It's currently Number 2 in the United States, behind Bridgerton. The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 provides a unique storyline for the show, with Mickey taking center stage as the defendant. This forces his legal team to pull out all the stops to help him, especially his legal aide, Lorna Crane, and her husband and Mickey's best friend, Cisco. As they investigate, a larger conspiracy surrounding Sam's death begins to emerge. It's unsurprising the legal thriller managed to rise up the ranks of Netflix's most popular new shows, considering how much faith the streaming service has in the drama. Prior to season 4's release, The Lincoln Lawyer season 5 was confirmed. The show's early renewal signals it'll continue being a regular part of the streamer's content library for quite some time.

It's already paying off with critics, too, as reviews for The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 have been some of the best for the series. Critics have praised the charming performance Manuel Garcia-Rulfo offers as Mickey, while also complimenting the writing. While it's said to take a bit of time to get going, the results end up being incredibly memorable. Audiences seem to think so too, considering the show's quick jump to global stardom just one day after new episodes were released. With the episodes being so new, The Lincoln Lawyer will likely remain on Netflix's Top 10 list for quite some time to come. As a core release, it has a chance to keep rising, too, as more viewers tune in. 482 9.4/10 8/10 The Lincoln Lawyer 10 stars 9 stars 8 stars 7 stars 6 stars 5 stars 4 stars 3 stars 2 stars 1 star Like Follow Followed TV-MA Drama Release Date May 13, 2022 Network Netflix Directors David E.
