Over a decade later, this Netflix show was originally set to debut at CBS before landing at the streamer. ABC and Lionsgate were reportedly behind the first iteration of the show, with Connelly and John Romano co-writing the pilot. Netflix’s adaptation of The Lincoln Lawyer takes a new look at a cast of characters that have already appeared in book and movie form. The “Lincoln Lawyer” TV series has been in development since the film was released in 2011. The series is produced by A+E Studios and Barry Jossen and Tana Jamieson serve as executive producers.

Ross Fineman and Kelley are also executive producers. The series was developed for television by Ted Humphrey, who serves as showrunner, executive producer, and writer. This very apartment was where Michael Connelly wrote The Lincoln Lawyer, the first in the Mickey Haller series. “Manuel brings a powerful dynamic and dimension to the role - one that aligns with the books and will give the show the opportunity to celebrate the Latinx heritage and roots of this Los Angeles–based story,” Connelly said in a press statement. Not only that but when Michael Connelly moved to LA, he moved to the very apartment where Philip Marlowe (as played by Elliot Gould) rented in the Altman movie. Lead star Garcia-Rulfo was the “ ideal Mickey Haller,” according to author Connelly, who is an executive producer and writer on the series. Neve Campbell stars as Mickey’s estranged wife, with Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, and Angus Sampson rounding out the main cast. “You just have to fake it until you make it.” “Success is all about momentum,” Mickey advises in the trailer.
