The Lincoln Lawyer season 2 is based on The Fifth Witness, the fourth novel in The Lincoln Lawyer book series. It’s about Mickey taking on a new case representing Lisa, who is accused of murdering a wealthy man. The official description for the book that inspired season 2 of the show reads, “Mickey Haller has fallen on tough times. He expands his business into foreclosure defense, only to see one of his clients accused of killing the banker she blames for trying to take away her home. Mickey puts his team into high gear to exonerate Lisa Trammel, even though the evidence and his own suspicions tell him his client is guilty. Soon after he learns that the victim had black market dealings of his own, Haller is assaulted, too — and he’s certain he’s on the right trail.”
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo teased season 2 in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “The first season we find Mickey at a low place in his life. Now we see him on a high because of all the fame from [the Trevor Elliott trial],” the actor said. He added, “The stakes are higher because love is involved. [Mickey] gets attached to this woman emotionally and then he has to defend her, so it becomes more personal. What I really liked about the dynamic with [Lisa] is he has only had eyes for Lorna or Maggie so I wanted to play him when he’s off his game. Especially because Lana is such a strong woman and actress.”
Manuel Garcia-Rolfo also said that the new character Andrea is “a great adversary” to Mickey. “She plays by the book and he is more emotional and uses his gut more than his brain, so there’s great chemistry,” he said.
