Production

Development

In 2018, David E. Kelley wrote a spec script for a television series set up at Epix by A+E Studios. When the script failed to move forward, he decided to work on a different project with A+E, ultimately adapting The Lincoln Lawyer after sharing his interests in working on legal dramas. In June 2019, the project was given a series production commitment by CBS.[2] In February 2020, Ted Humphrey came aboard as showrunner and Kiele Sanchez joined the cast as Lorna,[3] with Angus Sampson and Jazz Raycole joining a few weeks later as Cisco and Izzy, respectively.[4][5] In May 2020, it was reported that the series would not be going forward at CBS due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.[6]

At the time of the decision, which CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl called a "tough call," two scripts for the series had been written, with two more in development, and Logan Marshall-Green had been in negotiations to star as main character Mickey Haller.[6][7] On January 11, 2021, Netflix picked up the series with a 10-episode order, down from the original 13-episode plan,[6] and announced that Manuel Garcia-Rulfo would star as Haller.[8][9] In February 2021, Neve Campbell and Becki Newton joined the cast, with Raycole and Sampson returning to the series.[10][11] Christopher Gorham was cast in March.[12] In April, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine was cast in a role created specifically for the series,[13] with LisaGay Hamilton,[14] Jamie McShane, and Reggie Lee joining the cast in recurring roles.[15] Krista Warner was cast in May.[16]

Filming

The Lincoln Lawyer began filming in Los Angeles on March 30, 2021.[17][18] That same day, author Michael Connelly revealed on social media that the COVID-19 pandemic had previously delayed principal photography for around a year.[19] On June 8, 2021, Connelly said in an interview that six out of the ten episodes had been filmed, of which three of them had been edited completely, while also confirming that characters in the Amazon Prime Video series Bosch, including Haller's half-brother Harry Bosch (portrayed by Titus Welliver), would not be making appearances as both shows are from different networks.[20] Filming concluded on August 3, 2021.[21] Notable filming locations included Admiralty Way in Marina del Rey,[22] Spring Street in Downtown Los Angeles,[23] Grand Avenue,[24] the Wilshire Ebell Theatre,[25] and Wilshire Boulevard.[26]

Lawsuit

In August 2021, A+E Studios subsidiary Frankl & Bob Films II, LLC filed a lawsuit against ViacomCBS for "millions of dollars" in losses after it decided to not move forward with the series the previous year.[27] Citing the company's creation on December 4, 2019, the documents state that "after the merger, ViacomCBS's new leadership, led by [George Cheeks] had second-guessed CBS Network's decision to enter into the 13-episode series commitment," and that after finding it "was not valuable to ViacomCBS ... Mr. Cheeks and his fellow ViacomCBS executives decided that it would be better for ViacomCBS as a whole if CBS Network breached that commitment."[27] The documents also claim that ViacomCBS rejected the series because the first episode had not been filmed and said "that breach ensured that the series would never make it onto broadcast television."[27]

Release

The series premiered on Netflix on May 13, 2022.[28]

Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 77% of 22 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.4/10. The website's consensus reads: "David E. Kelley's adaptation of The Lincoln Lawyer relies too much on quirk to paper over its lack of true novelty, but this is a reliable enough vehicle for fans of legal pulp."[29] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 62 out of 100 based on 15 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[30]
