In an interview with TV Insider, he confirmed that the yet-to-be-announced third season of the legal drama will be based on The Gods of Guilt in Michael Connelly’s book series, noting, “That is the plan.”
The Lincoln Lawyer, which premiered in 2022, is based on The Brass Verdict, the second novel to feature the lead lawyer in the series, Mickey Haller. The Netflix series stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as the Los Angeles defense attorney who works out of a chauffeur-driven Lincoln Navigator. In The Gods of Guilt, the fifth book to feature Mickey Haller, the lawyer takes on the case of digital pimp Andre La Crosse, who allegedly murdered an old friend of Haller’s, Gloria Dayton. The book was published in 2013 and gets its name from Haller, who described members of a jury as “gods of guilt.”
