When it comes to adaptations of Michael Connelly’s books, Harry Bosch has had the most prominent role in recent years, due to Amazon Prime Video series Bosch. In comparison, Mickey Haller hasn’t been seen on screen since 2011’s film The Lincoln Lawyer, starring Matthew McConaughey.
Now, he’s about to get his time in the spotlight once again, as new Netflix series The Lincoln Lawyer adapts Connelly’s novel The Brass Verdict.
The series stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Mickey Haller and Neve Campbell, and comes from Nine Perfect Strangers and Anatomy of a Scandal creator David E Kelley.

What is The Lincoln Lawyer about?
The official synopsis for the series reads: “When his former law partner is killed, Mickey Haller is left to take over the firm, including a high-profile murder trial.
“With the biggest case he’s ever had to tackle out of the back seat of his Lincoln Town Car, Mickey discovers there may be more at stake than he thought.”
Is this a follow-up to Matthew McConaughey film?
This series is an adaptation of the second novel in Michael Connelly’s Mickey Haller series, The Brass Verdict, which follows The Lincoln Lawyer, the novel on which the 2011 film starring Matthew McConaughey has based. However, they are not in any way linked, and are separate adaptations.
This series also shares a link with Amazon Prime Video series Bosch, which is based on a different set of novels by Michael Connelly centred around Harry Bosch, who in the books is Haller’s half brother. However, Connelly has confirmed there won’t be a crossover between the two shows.
