Sign in to your ScreenRant account New details have been revealed about The Lincoln Lawyer season 5 that tease what fans can expect when the legal drama bids farewell next year. The series is based on Michael Connelly's bestselling novels about defense attorney Mickey Haller, played by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo in the small-screen adaptation. Several months ago, it was announced that The Lincoln Lawyer would end after the upcoming fifth season, which will reportedly be released on Netflix in March 2027. With at least four months to go until The Lincoln Lawyer returns, What's On Netflix has now revealed the titles for all 10 episodes in season 5: "Artemisia," "Roots," "Table 12," "Sucker Punch," "Chemistry Problem," "Do or Die," "Footprints," "Overtime" and "Resurrection Walk." Aside from episodes 5 and 6, which are confirmed to be "Sucker Punch" and "Chemistry Problem," respectively, none of the other titles have publicly been assigned to any specific episodes yet, which means there are still a lot of unknowns. Showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez wrote the premiere and finale, with Matthew J. Lieberman (episodes 2, 6 and 9), Katy Erin (episode 3), Matthew Cruz (episode 4), Isabella A. Rodriguez (episode 5), Dailyn Rodriguez (episode 6, co-written with Lieberman), Lisa Bao (episode 7), Jake H. Berstein (episode 8) and Audrey Lipsmire (episode 9, co-written with Lieberman) also writing scripts. The final season will cover the events of Connelly's 2023 novel Resurrection Walk and continue from where The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 finale left off, with Mickey finding out that he has a half-sister named Emi Finch, played by Cobie Smulders. She shows up seemingly out of the blue and requests that he help her with a wrongful conviction case. Smulders was only a guest star when she showed up in the finale, but she has been promoted to series regular status for season 5, with Neflix currently developing a potential spinoff for her character. Some of the newly revealed titles give vague hints about the storylines that will be featured in those episodes of The Lincoln Lawyer season 5. For example, "Artemisia" is Emi's full first name. "Article 1, Section 9" refers to the habeas corpus clause in the United States Constitution that Mickey employs at one point in the book. And "Resurrection Walk" is the name of Connelly's book, a trend that's continuing from previous seasons when some episode titles were named after The Brass Verdict, The Fifth Witness, The Gods of Guilt and The Law of Innocence. Garcia-Rulfo and Smulders' co-stars on The Lincoln Lawyer are Neve Campbell, Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole and Angus Sampson. Joining them for the final season are Diane Guerrero, Richard Cabral, Teresa Maria, Patty Guggenheim, Steve Howey, Iker Garcia, Corbin Bernsen, Chris Diamantopoulos, Amy Aquino, Angela Trimbur, Elpidia, Nate Corddry, Tricia Helfer and Keir O'Donnell. Filming ended back in July, and now the countdown is on for Mickey's story on The Lincoln Lawyer to reach its conclusion.
