‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ Season 5 Episode Titles Revealed Ahead of the Final Season
Netflix’s ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ is heading toward its final chapter. Netflix officially confirmed a 10-episode fifth season at the end of January 2026, later announcing that it would be the show’s final season. Author Michael Connelly confirmed the release window when responding to a follower on Threads, writing: “[The Lincoln Lawyer] Season 5 coming in 2027.”
Filming on the legal drama has already wrapped. With filming officially wrapped, the 10-episode final season has moved into post-production. The final season is widely expected to arrive between February and April 2027, although Netflix has yet to confirm that release window.
Fans now have a closer look at what’s coming in the meantime. The names of every episode in the fifth and final season of The Lincoln Lawyer are now known, according to What’s on Netflix. The titles are ‘Artemisia’, ‘Article 1, Section 9’, ‘Roots’, ‘Table 12’, ‘Sucker Punch’, ‘Chemistry Problem’, ‘Footprints’, ‘Overtime’, ‘Do or Die’ and ‘Resurrection Walk’.
The opening episode puts the spotlight on the show’s newest family member. ‘Artemisia’ is named after Emi herself, whose full name is Artemisia Finch. That title may spotlight her role in Mickey’s life early on. The final title points to the source material. ‘Resurrection Walk’ is the book title, and almost certainly the series finale. The series has a pattern of naming late episodes after books.

Not every episode’s place in the lineup is locked in yet. The titles for the first 4 episodes were previously reported, though their exact order within that group is not confirmed. The same goes for the last 4. Episode 5, ‘Sucker Punch’, was written by Isabella A. Rodriguez, and episode 6, ‘Chemistry Problem’, was written by Dailyn Rodriguez and Matthew J. Lieberman.
As with previous seasons, the story comes from Connelly’s novels. The ten-episode season is adapting Resurrection Walk (2023), the seventh Mickey Haller book. Mickey takes on a habeas petition to overturn a murder conviction in what looks like the biggest case he’s faced so far.
Emi will drive much of that story. Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) is shaken by the arrival of Emi (Cobie Smulders), a half-sister he never knew he had, who asks him to help free a woman wrongfully convicted of murder six years earlier. The official synopsis adds that as he unravels a dangerous web of corruption and lies, he must grapple with the fractured legacy of his family — both his chosen family and the family he never knew he had.
Emi is a new addition to the franchise rather than a character from the books. That character does not exist in Michael Connelly’s Lincoln Lawyer books at all. She was created partly because Netflix could not use another important character from Connelly’s novels: detective Harry Bosch, Mickey Haller’s half-brother.
Her story won’t end with the series. Artemisia “Emi” Finch, played by Cobie Smulders, is expected to lead a new series from the original Lincoln Lawyer creative team. Fan reaction to the character has been mixed, though.
Most of the core team will be back for one last case. The main cast of “The Lincoln Lawyer” will all be returning. One notable absence is Yaya DaCosta, whose character Andrea ‘Andy’ Freeman is not expected to return because she does not appear in the source material for the final season.
Joining the final season as recurring cast are Amy Aquino, Angela Trimbur, Elpidia Carillo, Nate Corddry, Tricia Helfer, and Keir O’Donnell, while Neve Campbell returns to reprise her role. Chris Diamantopoulos joins as Frank Silver, and Iker Garcia as Rafa Wagner.
