"It's a show with a lot of dialogue, legal jargon, and enormous courtroom monologues, and that's always been a challenge from the first season until now. I'm studying like crazy, but I do feel a little more relaxed because the actors, especially the recurring ones, already know their stuff. The dynamic is there, the chemistry is there. Everything flows more.
"This season is the one I liked the most because it's the most emotional," concluded Manuel.
Last month, it was confirmed that Manuel and his co-stars – Becki Newton, Neve Campbell and Angus Sampson – had commenced filming on season four. Speaking with Tudum, showrunner Ted Humphrey announced that production was well and truly underway.

"But in the first episode, you'll understand at least the broad strokes of what specifically has happened and what charges — and adversaries — Mickey is facing. This is going to be the biggest and most personal challenge Mickey has ever faced, and also the biggest roller coaster we've yet taken our audience on.
"And of course, our other characters will be dealing not only with Mickey's case but with a slew of challenges they're facing as well," he continued. "As a director, I was so happy with how the third season finale turned out, and I am also directing the opener of Season 4 so it feels like we are picking up right where we left off, which is really fun for me and also creatively very satisfying."

Cast as Dana Berg – a former colleague of Mickey's ex-wife Maggie –, the character is described as a "relentless prosecutor" who has earned herself the nickname Death Row Dana.
Revealing that Constance had begun filming too, EP Ted said: "I shot our first scene with Constance in court, and it was fantastic!"
