Fans waiting for The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 can check out a similar legal thriller series by David E. Kelley. Premiering on Netflix in 2022, The Lincoln Lawyer follows defense attorney Mickey Haller, who works on various legal cases in Los Angeles, California. A recovering addict, Mickey is given a second chance in life after he unexpectedly inherits a law firm. The Lincoln Lawyer was adapted from the successful novel series by Michael Connelly.

The Lincoln Lawyer was well-received by critics, praised for its realism, melodrama, and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo’s performance as Mickey Haller. Viewers who enjoyed all three current seasons of The Lincoln Lawyer eagerly anticipate season 4, which will be based on the sixth book in the series, The Law of Innocence. Filming for The Lincoln Lawyer season four has since wrapped, but while waiting for a release date, viewers can watch another David E. Kelly-produced legal series starring Jake Gyllenhaal.

Released on Apple TV+ in 2024, Presumed Innocent stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Rusty Sabich, who works as a chief deputy prosecutor in Chicago. His life and career take a sudden, drastic turn when Rusty finds himself accused of the murder of fellow prosecutor Carolyn Polhemus, Sabich’s former mistress, with whom he had a brief affair. As Rusty fights to clear his name, he is forced to deal with both the personal and legal ramifications that his past decisions have had on his career, his family, and his life.

Presumed Innocent and The Lincoln Lawyer offer different perspectives on the justice system, as well as plot twists and storylines that explore bribery, corruption, and manipulation, which impact the verdict in court. Presumed Innocent is a study of the toll Rusty’s actions take both personally and professionally, and should be watched while waiting for season four of The Lincoln Lawyer.

How Presumed Innocent’s Rusty Sabich Compares To Mickey Haller

Both Characters Deal With Issues Throughout Their Careers

Rusty Sabich in Presumed Innocent and Mickey Miller in The Lincoln Lawyer both work in the legal system and approach their cases in a determined and profound manner. Both characters are also emotionally impacted by their work and their personal feelings towards their legal cases. Rusty Sabich is a prosecutor whose past choices lead him to be caught up in the legal system that he once proudly upheld, and he has to deal with his public reputation falling apart as he searches for who killed Carolyn in Presumed Innocent.

Meanwhile, Mickey Haller in The Lincoln Lawyer is a complex individual who uses his wit and legal knowledge to bring his clients to justice in the courtroom; this has allowed Haller to win many of his cases throughout The Lincoln Lawyer. Haler continually questions his decisions, and his reputation leads to making enemies, including Sam Scales. Mickey’s antagonism with Scales eventually escalates to Haller being arrested for murder, an aspect that will be further explored in the upcoming trial in The Lincoln Lawyer season 4.

Presumed Innocent’s Season 2 Return Will Look Very Different From Jake Gyllenhaal’s Story

Season 2 Of Presumed Innocent Will Focus On A New Character & Story

Presumed Innocent was renewed for a second season by Apple TV+ in July 2024, with season 2 exploring a new legal case. Jake Gyllenhaal will not return for Presumed Innocent season 2 due to his ongoing commitments to other projects and the fact that his character, Rusty Sabich’s, storyline has now concluded.

Presumed Innocent season 2 is taking a risk by replacing Jake Gyllenhaal with a new lead, Rachel Brosnahan

Presumed Innocent season 2 will adapt the novel Dissection of a Murder by Jo Murray. Presumed Innocent season 2 is taking a risk by replacing Jake Gyllenhaal with a new lead, Rachel Brosnahan. Presumed Innocent season 2’s release isn’t confirmed, but viewers can enjoy rewatching season 1 while waiting for the fourth season of The Lincoln Lawyer.
