Now on Netflix: The Lincoln Lawyer ⚖️ Season 4 isn’t just another chapter — it’s the game-changing moment fans have been begging for.

👉 The story finally sets the stage to unleash Netflix’s most explosive missing book character since Harry Bosch — and when they arrive, everything will change. 💥📚

The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 might not be able to feature Bosch, but it has the perfect opportunity to introduce another missing book character. Michael Connelly has crafted the imaginative and engrossing world of The Lincoln Lawyer alongside many other book series within the same universe.

The Harry Bosch issue has been ongoing, with the show finding workarounds that fill in the gaps. However, he isn’t the only Michael Connelly character who’s missing from the TV adaptation. Luckily, the upcoming season of the Netflix legal drama has the chance to introduce the character.

Journalist Jack McEvoy Could Cover Mickey Haller’s Murder Trial In The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4

When I say that Jack McEvoy is missing from The Lincoln Lawyer, I don’t mean that he has a significant role in the books but not the show. That’s the case with Harry Bosch. In contrast, Jack McEvoy’s only appearance in The Lincoln Lawyer books is as a minor character in The Brass Verdict. His absence doesn’t actually impact the story very much.

Instead, I mean that Mickey Haller, Harry Bosch, and Jack McEvoy all exist within the same universe. As such, it would feel entirely appropriate for the characters from the other Michael Connelly book series to appear in The Lincoln Lawyer.

Mickey Haller’s murder trial is the perfect moment to introduce the journalist, since it will be a high-profile case in Los Angeles.

The Netflix show has the perfect opportunity to make that a reality with Jack. Even though he doesn’t appear in The Law of Innocence, Jack McEvoy could show up in The Lincoln Lawyer season 4. Mickey Haller’s murder trial is the perfect moment to introduce the journalist, since it will be a high-profile case in Los Angeles.

Mickey Haller & Jack McEvoy Could Share A Universe

Additionally, Jack McEvoy’s appearance in The Lincoln Lawyer could introduce audiences to the character, gauging audience interest in a show about the Michael Connelly character. Prime Video already jumped on the possibility of creating a connected universe with Bosch and Ballard, and Netflix would be wise to at least consider a similar approach with The Lincoln Lawyer and Jack McEvoy.

Technically, the Jack McEvoy book Fair Warning was supposed to get a movie adaptation (via Deadline), but it has been stuck in development hell for five years with no updates. As such, it’s possible that Netflix could still acquire the rights to that book and the other two in the Jack McEvoy series, creating a shared universe with The Lincoln Lawyer.
