Matthew McConaughey’s Forgotten Crime Hit Is Officially Leaving Streaming

Collider · 2 hours ago

Matthew McConaughey's 2011 legal thriller *The Lincoln Lawyer* is set to leave Peacock in the United States, marking the end of its run on the streaming service. The film is a notable but often overlooked entry from a pivotal period in McConaughey's career, arriving after his run of romantic comedies and just before the "McConaissance" that redefined him as a serious dramatic actor.

Directed by Brad Furman in his feature debut and based on the novels by Michael Connelly (who also inspired the *Bosch* franchise on Prime Video), the film earned strong reviews and solid box-office returns but never spawned the sequel many expected. The news comes as McConaughey has just made a theatrical comeback in *The Rivals of Amziah King*, his first live-action film role since 2019's *The Gentlemen*, having spent the intervening years on voice work in *Sing 2* and the Apple TV thriller *The Lost Bus*.

  • *The Lincoln Lawyer* is leaving Peacock in the US soon
  • The 2011 hit never got a planned sequel
  • Comes as McConaughey returns to cinemas after a long absence
