Good shows have a way of setting you up to consistently want more. Netflix's hit legal drama, The Lincoln Lawyer, is consistent with that and its third season finale did exactly that. Cruising down the streets of Los Angeles with the wind in his face, Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) is celebrating victory in yet another tough case, and this time he intends to take a vacation. But when a police officer pulls him over for a missing license plate, the body of his client Sam Scales (Christopher Thornton) is found in the trunk. Season 4 has already begun filming in Los Angeles in February and the sixth book in Michael Connelly's Lincoln Lawyer series, The Law of Innocence, will be adapted. However, there is one character who might not return for Season 4.

The Lincoln Lawyer has never been short on sharp suits, sharper comebacks, and characters who know how to throw down in a courtroom without breaking a sweat. Andrea Freeman, played by the ever-fierce Yaya DaCosta, was one of those rare TV prosecutors who didn’t just show up, she owned the room. Cool, calculated, and allergic to Mickey Haller’s charm, she brought just the right amount of sass and steel to every legal showdown.

But as season 4 dropped, something, or rather someone, was missing. No opening arguments, no quiet glares from across the aisle. Andrea Freeman was nowhere to be found, and the courtroom suddenly felt a little too roomy. Sure, there’s still plenty of legal heat to go around, but without Andrea grilling witnesses and throwing side-eyes at Mickey, it’s clear season 4 is missing one of its sharpest tools in the legal shed.

Making it big in Hollywood isn’t easy, just ask Katey Sagal. Before Sons of Anarchy put her back in the spotlight, she’d already built a solid career in music and acting. Most people remember her as Peg Bundy in Married… with Children or the tough-as-nails Gemma Morrow, but her memoir, Grace Notes, spills the tea on the journey behind the scenes!

In her memoir, Grace Notes, Sagal opens up about her decades in the industry, the ups and downs of fame.

Exclusive: British TV has featured its fair share of wealth on screen down the years – just think Downton Abbey or Brideshead Revisited – but in Wild Cherry, creator Nicôle Lecky wanted to shine new light on the super rich.

The thriller is set in a gated community, a collection of large houses and apartments in places like the Home Counties in which mini ecosystems develop, where wealth can be an ultimate currency whatever one’s background.

“I used to drive through a gated community in Surrey and I would look at these mansions and think, ‘Gosh who lives there?’,” Lecky told Deadline. “It had such a strong sense of an England that I hadn’t seen before. I knew I wanted to set something there.”

Starring Eve Best and Carmen Ejogo, who are coming off the back of HBO tentpoles House of the Dragon and The Penguin respectively, Wild Cherry follows Lorna (Ejogo), a self-made,...

We have seen a lot of legal dramas like Suits, All Rise, and even the short-lived For the People. While they are quite entertaining in their own right, they can be quite similar.

That's why The Lincoln Lawyer was a breath of fresh air when it premiered in 2022.

The series follows Mickey Haller, a brilliant LA lawyer who runs his practice in the back of his car because if he needs to move around the city a lot for his client, he'd rather take the time to go over cases instead of driving.

After launching, the series was a hit among the audience thanks to the popularity of the books it's based on, and the show was well done with a great storyline and characters.

It cracked the coveted Top 10 on Netflix for weeks after the premiere, amassing 260 million cumulative minutes, and remained Top 10 in 90 countries.

Fans rejoiced when Netflix...

Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer season two’s official trailer shows Mickey being attacked in a parking garage, dealing with the recognition that comes as the result of winning the huge case in season one, and denying he cares about being referred to as the hottest defense attorney in LA.

“I think [the fame and success] has its good side and its bad side,” said series star Manuel Garcia-Rulfo in an interview with Tudum. “He’s got this mojo back and his confidence back and all that, but I think that success brings a lot of bad stuff as well if you don’t know how to handle it — and I think he wasn’t ready for it.”

The new season is based on the fourth book in Michael Connelly’s bestselling series and features Neve Campbell as Maggie McPherson, Becki Newton as Lorna, Jazz Raycole as Izzy, and Angus Sampson as Cisco. Krista Warner,...

Better call Mickey? It's no secret that we enjoy shows about clever and witty lawyers who toe the line with both ethics and danger, be it legal or otherwise. Netflix's original series The Lincoln Lawyer has been checking all those marks so far with its first season, and we won't have to wait too much longer to see Mickey Haller's return. Per a report from Collider, the official trailer for the upcoming second season has dropped, giving fans a firsthand look at what's next on Mickey's legal docket as his fame carries him to new heights, for better or worse.

Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) is the hottest defense attorney in Los Angeles in The Lincoln Lawyer Season 2, but as the Part 1 trailer shows, getting recognized as “that lawyer from the news” is not a good thing. “I know what you’re thinking. A parking garage? Again?” Mickey says in a voiceover as he gets attacked. He’s on magazine covers, and he’s doing enough interviews in a week that Izzy (Jazz Raycole) comments on it. “I’m fine,” he insists. “I’m not going to let a little press go to my head.” But is Andrea (Yaya DaCosta) right when she tells him, “you love all eyes being trained on you?” And it looks like his next big case might just overlap with his personal life, as he meets Lisa (Lana Parilla) and hooks up with her, she turns to him for his “brain” again … and then calls him...

Previously in episode 3 of “The Night Agent,” Rose had the brilliant idea of obtaining all the sensitive data from the hard drive. In Diane Farr’s absence, Peter entered the data monitoring room covertly and transferred all the data from there to Rose. Diane, though, caught him. Peter persuaded her that he and Rose both were dubious about Farr and all the staff members of the White House, and that’s why the two of them were trying to find the truth on their own. In order to reveal to Rose the entire truth about her uncle and aunt, Farr insists on meeting with her. We are simultaneously given a different part of the story, one that will be very crucial later on. We saw Maddie Redfield, the daughter of the vice president, whose security guards Arrington and Monks didn’t get along with each other all that well.

Tom Hardy’s Taboo TV show gets a surprising season 2 update six years after season 1 aired. Produced by Hardy along with his father Chips Hardy and Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight, Taboo season 1 followed the exploits of James Delaney (Hardy), a brooding adventurer becoming embroiled in political corruption and violence in early 19th Century London. Featuring a compelling and mysterious lead performance by Hardy, the show developed a small but loyal following, and was ultimately renewed for a second season by BBC One. But now it’s been over five years since Taboo season 1 aired on BBC One and FX, and there have been few updates about season 2.

Even those who enjoyed Hardy’s brutal and dark performance in Taboo season 1 may have forgotten about the show by now, but nevertheless, Taboo season 2 appears to still be a possibility. Speaking to The Radio Times, Hardy’s producing partner Dean Baker says...

Four African episodic screenwriters will take the stage Tuesday at Series Mania to pitch the genre-flavored series they currently have in development, a crop of shows that reflect the rich and fertile landscape for African series creators looking to tap into the global TV market.

The shows are created by the first graduating class of the AuthenticA Series Lab, a training program for African episodic screenwriters launched last year by Realness Institute in partnership with Geneva-based philanthropic organization The StoryBoard Collective and Series Mania.

The four participants have spent the past six months in a collaborative environment that included both online workshops and residencies in South Africa and Switzerland, while attending masterclasses with leading industry professionals and working with a mentoring team comprised of creative producer Mehret Mandefro and story expert Selina Ukwuoma.

The four creators have each developed a bible and a pilot episode that they’ll be presenting...
