What is The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5 about?

An official description of Season 5 has yet to be released, but the synopsis for Resurrection Walk reads as follows:

“Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller enlists the help of his half-brother, Harry Bosch, to prove the innocence of a woman convicted of killing her ex-husband.

Defense attorney Mickey Haller is back, taking the long-shot cases, where the chances of winning are one in a million. After getting a wrongfully convicted man out of prison, he is inundated with pleas from incarcerated people claiming innocence. He enlists his half-brother, retired LAPD Detective Harry Bosch, to weed through the letters, knowing most claims will be false.

Bosch pulls a needle from the haystack: a woman in prison for killing her ex-husband, a sheriff’s deputy, but who still maintains her innocence. Bosch reviews the case and sees elements that don’t add up, and a sheriff’s department intent on bringing quick justice in the killing of one of its own.

Now Haller has an uphill battle in court, a David fighting Goliaths to vindicate his client. The path for both lawyer and investigator is fraught with danger from those who don’t want the case reopened and will stop at nothing to keep the Haller-Bosch dream team from finding the truth.”

Who will be in The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5 cast?

The Lincoln Lawyer stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Neve Campbell, Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, Angus Sampson, and Cobie Smulders.

Joining co-showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez as executive producers are David E. Kelley, Michael Connelly, Ross Fineman, Barry Jossen, Tana Jamieson, and Matthew J Lieberman. The series was created for television by Kelley and developed by Humphrey.
