"He’s like a film producer," he said, "It’s one of the ways in which they updated the storytelling, since the book has been out for quite a while."īased on this, it'll be interesting to see what details Netflix changes in the adaptation of the next Connelly book. Gorham, who plays Trevor spoke about how his character was initially supposed to be called Walter Elliot, and saw a bit of a face-lift when the book was turned into the Netflix show. Already in season one, many details were changed from the original text. But even then, we should maybe turn to the books for a general gist of the story as opposed to an accurate play by play. The book series currently holds six books and Netflix doesn't appear to be following the order of the books. The show was adapted from a book series of the same name by Michael Connelly with season one following the plot line from from the second book in the series, "The Brass Verdict." For season two, however, we are set to see an adaptation of the series' fifth book "The Fifth Witness," which will focus mainly on the case of Mickey Haller defending a client who is accused of killing the banker she blames for trying to take away her home. Based on that information alone, it's no wonder Netflix was eager to renew. That means it only had two days to climb up to that ranking.

Despite having dropped on May 13, the show was already trailing just behind Ozark as the number two English language show on Netflix between May 9- 15. This comes as no surprise given the popularity the show got on its first weekend. Netflix has announced they will be renewing the hit series for season two, which will consist of 10 episodes – just like the last season. Here's everything we know about what the future could mean for The Lincoln Lawyer.

The Netflix show is quickly becoming one of the platform's biggest hits, and I'm sure like all of us, you're wondering just when you can expect season two to drop. This season was full of twists, legal jargon and a whole lot of comedic anecdotes. Season one saw Mickey taking on the case of a video game billionaire, Trevor Elliot (Christopher Gorham), who is accused of murdering his wife and her boyfriend after he discovers their bodies. The crime drama focuses on Los-Angeles defense lawyer Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), who runs his legal practice from the back of his Lincoln town car – naturally the car's number plate reads NTGUILTY.
