Mickey Haller Lincoln Lawyer: The explosive ending of The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 has left fans on the edge of their seats, especially with the shocking discovery in Mickey Haller’s trunk. After a victory celebration, police stopped Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), the main character in the Netflix hit legal drama based on Michael Connelly’s well-known book series, but a bloody twist ensued.

As Mickey was pulled over for a missing license plate, the situation escalated when police found Sam Scales’ body in his trunk. Scales, one of Haller’s former clients and a notorious con artist, was introduced in the earlier seasons, and his death now raises numerous questions for fans. Sam had been involved in various scams, including fraudulent charity efforts, making him a controversial character. This cliffhanger hints at significant trouble for Haller in future episodes, as he now faces the greatest challenge of his legal career—defending himself.

In season 4, Mickey Haller is expected to take on the case of his life, trying to prove his innocence in the death of Sam Scales. While Haller didn’t kill Sam, the mystery surrounding who did will likely be a driving force in the next season. Fans familiar with Connelly’s books may recall that in the novel The Law of Innocence, it is revealed that mobster Louis Opparizio was behind the murder, framing Haller due to financial losses from one of Scales’ failed schemes.

While Netflix hasn’t officially confirmed The Lincoln Lawyer season 4, the series’ popularity suggests it’s just a matter of time before fans see Haller back in action. The show has garnered a loyal following, with season 3 quickly hitting Netflix’s Top 10. If the success continues, viewers can likely expect more legal battles and personal turmoil for Mickey Haller in 2025.
