Netflix confirmed the date in early December 2025, along with some killer first-look photos that tease the intensity ahead.

What’s the Story in Season 4?

Straight from that jaw-dropping Season 3 finale, Mickey Haller gets pulled over and slapped with murder charges after cops find a body in his Lincoln’s trunk. This season dives deep into Michael Connelly’s sixth book, The Law of Innocence.

Mickey turns defendant, fighting to clear his name in his most personal case ever. His crew scrambles to uncover the truth behind the victim’s last scam, tangling with the DA’s office, the FBI, and some old ghosts from Mickey’s history. Expect the usual mix of nail-biting suspense, sharp humor, and real emotional punches, plus personal struggles for the whole team.

Co-showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez called it the show’s biggest rollercoaster yet, loaded with twists that hit hard.
