Originally set up with CBS for a series commitment in 2020 it was cancelled right before filming of the first episode due to COVID. This has now been picked up by Netflix for a 10 episode first season based on the second Mickey Haller book "The Brass Verdict".
The Lincoln Lawyer series takes place in the same universe as Connelly's other series about LAPD Det. Harry Bosch (featured in 'Bosch' on Amazon and 'Bosch Legacy' on Freevee). Mickey Haller and Bosch are half-brothers and the characters intersect in a few books.
Despite the same name as the eponymous novel, the series is based on author Michael Connelly's second Mickey Haller novel, "The Brass Verdict" (2008), not to be mistaken with the 2011 movie of the same name that starred Matthew McConaughey and was adapted from a different novel by the same author.
In the post-credits of the series the production company "Hieronymus Pictures" is the final credit with the face of an owl logo. This is the same company that produced writer Michael Connelly's Bosch (2014) series (note that Hieronymus is Bosch's real first name).
Logan Marshall-Green, originally cast in the series title role, was replaced by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo.
