The Lincoln Lawyer is one of those shows on Netflix that its fan base goes crazy for, so when the second outing of the legal drama returned to the streaming giant earlier this month, it didn't take long for it to make it into the top ten trending shows.
For those unaware, the series focuses on Mickey Haller who runs his own law practice out the back seat of his Lincoln and tackles big and small cases across the city of Los Angeles. (If the title is familiar, it's because it's been adapted from the novel series by Michael Connelly, not to mention the film of the same name and plot starring Matthew McConaughey).
But what fans really want to know is what the future holds for the show. Read on to find out more…
Will there be a season three of The Lincoln Lawyer?
Netflix is yet to formally announce whether season three of The Lincoln Lawyer is happening, but there is hope! The streaming platform tends to review stats and rating figures of a show when determining the future and given season two has been sitting comfortably at the top of the trending charts, it's certainly a possibility.
It's likely that the company is awaiting the arrival of season two part two before giving a third installment the green light. But, Netflix has made announcements of future seasons relatively quickly after a high success rate in the past – for example, they renewed The Diplomat and The Night Agent very quickly after the first season's launch – so hopefully fans won't have to wait long for news.
