\n

\n\tIt was a packed house as the cast and executive producers of the hit Netflix and A+E Studios series The Lincoln Lawyer<\/em> celebrated their Season 4 premiere with a panel and party Wednesday at Deadline parent PMC\u2019s Los Angeles headquarters. The crowd at the new PMC Theater & Terrace on hand for \u201cThe Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 Premiere Celebration\u201d event roared over news of the legal drama\u2019s early Season 5 renewal, which Deadline broke earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut let\u2019s not get too ahead of ourselves; there\u2019s Season 4 to discuss, and it\u2019s an important one. The show\u2019s protagonist, Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), is deconstructed across 10 episodes as he battles to save his own life following the Season 3 reveal that he was framed for murder.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Q&A portion of the evening featured Garcia-Rulfo and his fellow castmembers Neve Campbell, Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole and Constance Zimmer, along with co-showrunners and executive producers Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez.<\/p>\n

\n\tWatch the panel here, and scroll down for photos from the panel and the post-Q&A party on the rooftop terrace.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMickey spent his entire career helping people and giving them this advice that now, when you\u2019re the person in the hot seat, it feels pretty hollow. As you can imagine, I think it\u2019s pretty universal, being accused of murder is about the worst thing that can happen to anybody. And there\u2019s an old saying that a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a lawyer,\u201d said Humphrey, who developed Michael Connelly\u2018s Lincoln Lawyer <\/em>book series for TV.<\/p>\n

\n\tAdded Garcia-Rulfo, \u201cFor Mickey, this season felt a little darker, heavier with him on the other side of the table. It\u2019s also very emotional. When I was reading the episodes, I called Ted and Dailyn. There\u2019s one that especially had me in tears. This season feels more emotional, with Mickey dealing with all that with the people that he loves beside him. As an actor, it\u2019s more fun to go into that darker drama. Mickey is this guy who also has to take care of everything, and this season, he\u2019s really struggling.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNew addition Constance Zimmer, who plays opposite Mickey in the courtroom as prosecutor Dana Berg in Season 4, makes sure his struggle runs deep.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI mean, he needs somebody to kick his ass,\u201d said Zimmer about Mickey. \u201cI feel like he has all these yes people around him. So it was fun to be the one who was like, \u2018No, I\u2019m sorry, that\u2019s not right.\u2019 I feel very honored to come into a show in Season 4; everyone was so welcoming and forthcoming. It was like, \u2018Yeah, we\u2019re all supposed to hate you, but we really like you.\u2019 I was like, \u2018Okay, good, because I\u2019m not very nice.\u2019 You know what? I love it. I love being the woman who has to come in and give [Mickey] a run for his money.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIf \u201cDeath Row\u201d Dana, as she has been nicknamed, thinks it will be easy to bring Mickey down, she has another thing coming \u2014 and that\u2019s Maggie McPherson (Campbell), Mickey\u2019s devoted friend and ex-wife with whom she shares a daughter, Hayley (Krista Warner). Maggie and Dana share a mysterious backstory; whatever it is, it doesn\u2019t play any role in Maggie\u2019s devotion to Mickey.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMaggie\u2019s feeling very defensive, and this is a complicated situation. She has a lot of fear for what might happen to Mickey, so she wants to make sure that he\u2019s taken care of,\u201d Campbell said.<\/p>\n

\n\tOther teasers from the panel include Campbell and Newton discussing their characters Maggie and Lorna, respectively, forming a bond that\u2019s beyond them being Mickey\u2019s ex-wives, and how important it was to feature strong female relationships. Speaking of, Raycole has evolved as a character so much from the lost Izzy introduced in Season 1, and she has a new love interest to boot, Grace, played by Gigi Zumbado. There\u2019s also a special storyline between Mickey and his mother, Elena, played by the legendary Ang\u00e9lica Mar\u00eda, which Rodriguez said they\u2019d consider exploring in a bigger way in the future.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd with the impossible one day perhaps becoming possible, Deadline posited the question of whether a crossover could ever happen between Lincoln Lawyer<\/em> and another Connelly book series-turned-TV franchise, Prime Video\u2019s Bosch<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLet me speak for Mr. Bezos that those characters, unfortunately, at the moment, are on a different platform,\u201d responded Humphrey.<\/p>\n

\n\tConnelly, who attended the event and was sitting in the audience, gave a thumbs-up to the suggestion that Titus Welliver, who plays Harry Bosch, could simply walk past Mickey on the street during a scene, with the men giving each other a nod.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI guess nothing prohibits us from hiring Titus as an extra,\u201d Humphrey said as the crowd laughed.<\/p>\n

\n\tGarcia-Rulfo said he\u2019d love to have the Lincoln Lawyer<\/em> and Bosch <\/em>worlds collide. \u201cHe\u2019s such a cool guy, a good actor. That story between the two, yeah!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThere\u2019s a lot that has to go down this season first, however, with the hope that Mickey comes out of this vindicated. To that end, you\u2019ll have to watch Season 4 when it premieres February 5 on Netflix.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
