The return of one of Netflix's most celebrated legal crime thriller series has created one of the best one-night binges for this weekend, February 6–8, 2026.

Based on a series of novels by prolific writer Michael Connelly, who also wrote the highly successful Bosch book series that has been adapted into a Prime Video streaming sensation, this 10-part new season is surging worldwide and is a can't-miss show this weekend.

Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 Just Hit Netflix – What It's About

The fourth season of The Lincoln Lawyer arrived on Netflix this Thursday, February 5, 2026. It is one of several new Netflix thriller releases, including the new 6-part series Unfamiliar, the new 8-part series Cash Queens, and the new 8-part series Salvador, that are worth streaming this weekend.

The Lincoln Lawyer was developed for television by David E. Kelley, known for his various acclaimed series such as Big Little Lies and Presumed Innocent. It was also made into a movie starring Matthew McConaughey in 2011. The story follows a hotshot attorney named Mickey Haller, played by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, who takes on various cases in Los Angeles while driving his signature Lincoln vehicle.

At the time of writing, The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 has become an overnight streaming sensation on Netflix, landing the #2 spot on the streamer's worldwide charts. After surging past the long-standing viral hit series His & Hers, The Lincoln Lawyer only sits behind the newly released first half of Bridgerton season 4. The same is the case on U.S. charts as of Friday morning.

If you're all caught up on The Lincoln Lawyer seasons 1–3, there's really no better time to dive into the newly released fourth season than tonight, as the series surges on global streaming charts. While somewhat ambitious, viewers could reasonably binge all 10 episodes of The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 in just one night, as each episode ranges from 45 to 56 minutes.

The Lincoln Lawyer is a great show worth investing in for new viewers, as a fifth season is already in development. Similar to other shows based on a large volume of books, this series could presumably go on for many more seasons. The Netflix series is also critically acclaimed, earning a 90% Rotten Tomatoes score, including a perfect 100% score for season 3 specifically.

If you consider yourself a fan of crime thrillers and legal dramas, there is no better brand-new series worth binge-watching this weekend on Netflix than The Lincoln Lawyer season 4. See what all the hype is about as the new season shoots for the #1 worldwide viewership spot.
