Netflix has confirmed that Season 5 of *The Lincoln Lawyer* will be its last, bringing an end to the legal drama that has served as the streamer's answer to Amazon Prime Video's *Bosch*. Both shows draw on Michael Connelly's novels, and the author is involved as a writer and producer on each, giving them notable overlap despite being separate series. The decision marks a significant moment for Netflix, which has relied on the show since 2022 to serve fans of cop dramas and legal thrillers within its vast subscriber base.

Filming on the final season has already wrapped as of this summer, with the episodes based on Connelly's 2023 novel *Resurrection Walk*. The show's conclusion is expected to air in 2027. The news comes during a strong year for Netflix, which has also seen major success with releases such as the sci-fi thriller *War Machine*, starring Alan Ritchson, which has drawn over 135 million views.
