Anticipation is already ramping up forThe Lincoln Lawyer’s fourth season, especially because Neve Campbell is set to return as Mickey Haller’s ex-wife Maggie McPherson. This time it’s different, though. Campbell has returned to the show as a main cast member, with Maggie set to play a major role in the case for Mickey’s defense at his upcoming murder trial. For the first time, Mickey and Maggie’s personal and professional lives will be completely intertwined, as the Lincoln Lawyer himself will be relying on the woman he loves to save him from prison and professional ruin.
This plot twist might seem like a major divergence from the direction of the show’s third season, but it actually follows the story of Michael Connelly’s fifth Mickey Haller novel. LikeThe Law of Innocence,The Lincoln Lawyerseason 4will pit Mickey and his defense team, which includes Maggie, against the formidable prosecutor Dana Berg in court. In this showdown, viewers will get to see Maggie’s legal skills put to the test in a big legal case for the first time. Given thather ex-husband is the one on trial, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Maggie Being On Mickey’s Defense Team Gives Her The Major Legal Story She Deserves In The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4
Until Now Maggie Was Only A Love Interest For Mickey With Her Career In The Background
So far inThe Lincoln Lawyer, Maggie has largely appeared as a love interest to Mickey, as well as a key part of his backstory. She’s also a lawyer, who, unlike her former husband, works as a prosecutor, buther work has largely been kept separate from Mickey’s(and offscreen). Halfway through the show’s second season, she disappears altogether, after accepting a promotion to the District Attorney’s office of San Diego. Her move opened the door forAndy Freemann to become romantically involved with Mickeyin season 3.
She’ll be on the front line inThe Lincoln Lawyer’s biggest legal story yet, the case for Mickey Haller’s acquittal.
Now that Maggie’s back, however, she’ll be on the front line inThe Lincoln Lawyer’s biggest legal story yet, the case for Mickey Haller’s acquittal, from murder charges, no less. What’s more, she’ll be working on a different side of the court benches from her usual position as a prosecutor. Up against an intimidatingrival in the form of “Death Row Dana” Berg, season 4 is the time for Maggieto show what she can really do, both as a lawyer, and as Mickey’s partner. She might just be the one to save both his life and his livelihood.

She’ll Be On The Inside Of Mickey’s Own Team
Another exciting aspect of Neve Campbell’s Maggie joining Mickey’s defense team is that she’ll get to work with some of the best-loved characters inThe Lincoln Lawyer. The dynamic between Maggie andLorna Crane, Mickey’s legal aideand second ex-wife, will be especially interesting. But there’s alsoLorna’s husband, Cisco Wojciechowski, who typically leads investigations on his cases, and his driver Izzy Letts.
I Need The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 To Focus On 1 Important Relationship With Neve Campbell’s Return
Neve Campbell’s Maggie returning to The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 makes me thrilled because the show can explore an important relationship.
Maggie working at close quarters with the team is sure to create some friction initially, especially given her relative inexperience as a defense attorney. Still, if there’s anyone who can bring them all together, it’s Mickey Haller. Of course, they have no better reason to welcome Maggie and pull together as a team than to save Mickey from prison, or worse.The Lincoln Lawyerhas never been as popular as it is now, following season 3’s cliffhanger ending, and Neve Campbell’s new role could provide an additional boost to its quality.
