The author said on Threads that the decision on a sixth season rests with Netflix, after season 5 was announced as the show's last.
Michael Connelly said on Threads that whether The Lincoln Lawyer returns for a sixth season is a decision for Netflix, not for him, according to screenrant.com. The author and executive producer of the series responded to the question directly on the platform.
