Lincoln Lawyer fans should binge-watch these 5 Netflix shows while waiting for season 4

WARNING: This article contains spoilers from The Lincoln Lawyer.

The fourth series of The Lincoln Lawyer is currently in the pipeline, but what can fans watch in the meantime?

Manuel Garcia-Rulfo will be reprising his role as the charismatic Mickey Haller in the fourth instalment of Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer, which is now in post-production.

In the last episode, viewers saw Mickey in a sticky situation when the body of Sam Scales (played by Christopher Thornton) was found in the boot of his car. But who could have framed him?

It's believed that The Lincoln Lawyer won't return until early 2026, so here are five Netflix shows for fans to immerse themselves in while they wait for its comeback.

The gripping political thriller Bodyguard, which first premiered on BBC in 2018, centres around Police Sergeant David Budd (portrayed by Richard Madden) who is tasked with protecting Home Secretary Julia Montague (Keeley Hawes).

Despite their political differences, the sexual tension is undeniable. But can the married British Army veteran avoid crossing the line between their personal and professional relationship?

With its unexpected plot twists and standout performances from Keeley Hawes of Line of Duty fame and Game of Thrones star Richard Madden, Bodyguard is a must-watch.

Another political thriller not to miss is The Diplomat, which has an impressive 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Following an attack on a British aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf, newly appointed United States ambassador to the UK Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) must do everything in her power to prevent war from erupting.

Hailed as "one of the most intelligent series put out by Netflix" by a viewer, The Diplomat delivers compelling drama across three series worth your time.

For Lincoln Lawyer enthusiasts, the legendary Suits absolutely deserves a spot on your viewing schedule.

Spanning nine seasons, gifted university dropout Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) finds himself employed as a legal associate at a prestigious law firm despite never attending law school.

Suits has gained particular recognition in recent years, though, as the programme that kickstarted Meghan Markle's acting journey when she played one of its leading characters, Rachel Zane.

In contrast to The Lincoln Lawyer, Suits' narratives unfold over extended periods with each season featuring approximately 16 episodes, making it more of an investment but essential viewing.

Should The Lincoln Lawyer's protagonist Manuel Garcia-Rulfo be what draws you to the legal series, then this film showcasing the actor is perfect.

Adapted from the legendary Mexican novel by Juan Rulfo, Pedro Paramo chronicles Juan Preciado's journey to the haunted settlement of Comala in search of his father Pedro Paramo (Garcia-Rulfo).

Yet he quickly learns that the settlement is actually inhabited by spirits from its history, creating confusion between the living and the dead in this otherworldly 2024 production.

A standout series from 2019 is this true crime drama featuring Toni Collette and Merritt Wever as Detectives Grace Rasmussen and Karen Duvall, respectively.

In 2008, Marie Adler (portrayed by Kaitlyn Dever) was sexually assaulted in her flat by a masked man bearing a birthmark on his left calf.

However, after being compelled to recount the traumatic event repeatedly, two male detectives doubt her story and coerce her into retracting her statement.

Fast forward three years, and Rasmussen and Duvall are collaborating to bring the masked assailant to justice.

Unbelievable may be a challenging watch, but it's a significant one, with the 2015 article An Unbelievable Story of Rape earning a Pulitzer Prize.

The Lincoln Lawyer is available to watch on Netflix.
