Manuel Garcia-Rulfo has stood out for his depiction well-dressed LA lawyer Mickey Haller in Netflix's hit series The Lincoln Lawyer, but in the upcoming third season we're going to meet a more scruffy side of him. And one not seen in the original books by Michael Connolly.
The first episode of The Lincoln Lawyer season 3, which debuts October 17, will open with a flashback to a younger Mickey Haller - happily married to then-wife Maggie (played by Neve Campbell), and their daughter Hayley (Krista Warner), and coming back from a long day surfing.
"We decided that a fun (and poignant) way to come into the season would be via a flashback sequence that gave us some insight into how Mickey Haller became Mickey Haller," said showrunners Dailyn Rodriguez and Ted Humphrey in a Netflix article. "Not just the brilliant criminal defense lawyer, but the husband, the father, and the man that he would come to be."
Fans of The Lincoln Lawyer will know the series is based on the prose novels by Michael Connolly, and fans of the fifth book, The Gods of Guilt (which this season is based on), includes no such scene. But Connolly is involved with the show, writing some of the episodes and supervising all the scripts - including this one.
According to the showrunners, there will be two flashback scenes in The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 - both in the first episode, to serve to "propel us into the rest of Season 3."
The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 debuts October 17 on Netflix.
